- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Parsley
- 0.25 tsp Red chili flakes
Directions
Step 1
Pat dry the Bangus belly with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 2
Season the Bangus belly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Mince the garlic cloves finely.

Place the Bangus belly skin-side down into the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the skin gets crispy.
