Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6-8 oz each) Pollock fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil (for pan-searing)
- 1 lime Lime wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pollock fillets dry with paper towels and set aside on a plate.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the pollock fillets. Cover the fillets and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes.
Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the marinated pollock fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until lightly browned, then gently flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro on top.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of tanginess. Pair with a side of keto-friendly cauliflower rice or steamed broccoli for a complete meal.
