Step 1
Pat the 1.5 lb fish fillets dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 2
Add the fish and cook until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the 6 dried chilies and 1 sliced yellow bell pepper. Cook until fragrant and slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in the 1/4 cup soy sauce and 1/2 cup chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits.
Step 5
Return the fish to the skillet, spoon sauce over, and simmer until fish is cooked through and flakes easily, about 5 minutes. Top with sliced green onions.
