Ingredients
- 4 pieces Red snapper fillets
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the red snapper fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Heat the coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked fish to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and sliced red chili.
Step 8
Serve immediately, pairing with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables to keep it Whole30-compliant.
