Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams white fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 50 grams cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by thoroughly rinsing the white fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Using a food processor, pulse the fish fillets until finely chopped and resemble a coarse paste.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped fish, egg, coconut flour, cream cheese, chopped cilantro, red curry paste, lime juice, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
With slightly damp hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. You should have approximately 16-18 fish balls.
Heat the coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the fish balls in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, and cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fish balls from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the Keto Curry Fish Balls warm, garnished with extra cilantro if desired. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a keto-friendly dipping sauce.
