Season the fish with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cover and marinate for about 1 hour in the refrigerator, not on the counter.
Arrange the fish in a wide pot with the onion, peppers, garlic, tomatoes and cilantro. Add the dendê and coconut milk.
Bring gently to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, until the fish reaches 63°C and flakes easily. Spoon broth over the fish if needed rather than stirring vigorously and breaking it up.
Serve hot. Refrigerate leftovers promptly.
