Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 approximately 1 lb Whole white fish
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh coriander, chopped
Instructions
Clean and pat dry the fish. Make deep cuts on both sides to help the marinade penetrate better.
In a bowl, combine lime juice, turmeric powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, red chili powder, black pepper, and coriander powder.
Rub the marinade generously over the fish, making sure to get it into the cuts. Allow it to marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more intense flavor.
Heat coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the marinated fish into the pan. Cook for about 10 minutes on one side until the skin becomes crispy and golden brown.
Gently flip the fish and cook for another 10 minutes until the other side is crispy and the fish is cooked through.
Remove the fish from the pan and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander before serving, and enjoy your Low Sodium Ikan Goreng with steamed rice or a side salad.
