Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bangus belly fillets
- 3 tablespoons Ghee
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the Bangus belly fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the Bangus belly fillets skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Carefully flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the ghee. Allow it to melt, then add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and lightly browned but not burned.
Pour in the fresh lemon juice and coconut aminos into the skillet, stirring well to combine with the garlic butter. Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Return the cooked Bangus belly fillets to the skillet, spooning the garlic butter sauce over them to coat evenly. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the fillets before serving.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Enjoy your Paleo Garlic Butter Bangus Belly!
