Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (Snapper or Tilapia)
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh turmeric, grated
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Instructions
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the turmeric, ginger, garlic, lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
Rub the paste all over the fish fillets, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let the fish marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated fish fillets to the skillet. Fry the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fish from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Garnish the fried fish with fresh chopped coriander leaves and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
