Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, combine lime juice, minced garlic, turmeric powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over the fish fillets and let them marinate for 10 minutes.
In a shallow dish, spread the coconut flour evenly.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Coat each marinated fish fillet in the coconut flour, shaking off excess.
Place the fillets in the hot skillet and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Once done, transfer the fried fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Garnish the ikan goreng with chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of low-carb side, such as a green salad or sautéed vegetables.
