Ingredients
- 1 approximately 1 lb Whole white fish
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh coriander, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Clean and pat dry the fish. Make deep cuts on both sides to help the marinade penetrate better.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine lime juice, turmeric powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, red chili powder, black pepper, and coriander powder.
Step 3
Rub the marinade generously over the fish, making sure to get it into the cuts. Allow it to marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more intense flavor.
Step 4
Heat coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the marinated fish into the pan. Cook for about 10 minutes on one side until the skin becomes crispy and golden brown.
Step 6
Gently flip the fish and cook for another 10 minutes until the other side is crispy and the fish is cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the fish from the pan and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander before serving, and enjoy your Low Sodium Ikan Goreng with steamed rice or a side salad.
