Rinse the red snapper fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric, paprika, ground coriander, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the fish fillets. Allow them to marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Heat the coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated fish fillets to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the fillets over using a spatula and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flaky.
Transfer the cooked fish to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and sliced red chili.
Serve immediately, pairing with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables to keep it Whole30-compliant.
