Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (Snapper or Tilapia)
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh turmeric, grated
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the turmeric, ginger, garlic, lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
Step 3
Rub the paste all over the fish fillets, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let the fish marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 4
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated fish fillets to the skillet. Fry the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Remove the fish from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Garnish the fried fish with fresh chopped coriander leaves and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
