Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 200g each) Bangus belly fillets
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons Coconut cream
Instructions
Place the bangus belly fillets on a plate and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden brown.
Add the bangus fillets to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low-medium and add the coconut cream to the skillet, stirring to combine with the remaining garlic and oil.
Add the lemon juice and lemon zest to the coconut cream mixture, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the cooked bangus fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
Transfer the bangus belly to a serving platter, drizzle with any remaining sauce from the skillet.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
