Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Bangus (milkfish) belly
- 50 g Unsalted butter
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Parsley
- 0.25 tsp Red chili flakes
Instructions
Pat dry the Bangus belly with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Season the Bangus belly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and let it heat for about 2 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until it becomes golden brown and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt completely, mixing it with the garlic.
Place the Bangus belly skin-side down into the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the skin gets crispy.
Carefully flip the fish and pour the lemon juice over it. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Sprinkle red chili flakes and chopped parsley over the fish before serving.
Serve the Bangus belly immediately while warm, with a side of your favorite keto-friendly vegetables.
