Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bangus belly fillets
- 3 tablespoons Ghee
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the Bangus belly fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the Bangus belly fillets skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Carefully flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the ghee. Allow it to melt, then add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and lightly browned but not burned.
Step 4
Pour in the fresh lemon juice and coconut aminos into the skillet, stirring well to combine with the garlic butter. Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Step 5
Return the cooked Bangus belly fillets to the skillet, spooning the garlic butter sauce over them to coat evenly. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the fillets before serving.
Step 7
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Enjoy your Paleo Garlic Butter Bangus Belly!
