Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 200g each) Bangus belly fillets
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons Coconut cream
Directions
Step 1
Place the bangus belly fillets on a plate and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden brown.
Step 3
Add the bangus fillets to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low-medium and add the coconut cream to the skillet, stirring to combine with the remaining garlic and oil.
Step 5
Add the lemon juice and lemon zest to the coconut cream mixture, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Return the cooked bangus fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
Step 7
Transfer the bangus belly to a serving platter, drizzle with any remaining sauce from the skillet.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
