Ingredients

• 1 whole fish bangus (milkfish), deboned and filleted
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons calamansi juice (or lime juice)
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 medium green chili, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 pinch salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the bangus. Place the bangus fillet skin-side down on a baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of black pepper.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the bangus fillet for 15 minutes or until cooked through and easily flaked with a fork.

Step 3

Once cooled, flake the bangus fillet into bite-sized pieces, discarding the skin. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped red and green bell peppers, cooking for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 7

Add the flaked bangus to the skillet and mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 8

Pour in the calamansi juice and low-sodium soy sauce, stirring gently to coat the bangus with the mixture.

Step 9

Sprinkle the finely chopped green chili and a pinch of salt (optional), adjusting to taste. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 10

Serve the bangus sisig warm, on top of fresh lettuce leaves for a refreshing crunch, as part of a healthy meal.
