HOW TO MAKE FISH WITH COCONUT AND LIME?

Start with fish!

For this keto fish in coconut sauce, you can use fillets of various fishes. You can use fillets of cod, hake, John Dory, tilapia or snapper.

You will need to season your fish with some salt and pepper and cook it on a hot coconut oil on a pan. Add immediately minced garlic cloves and half of the lime juice.

It's better to cook it first on a fish flesh side and when cooked turn the skin side down and cook it until completely cooked and crispy.

Coconut and lime sauce

When fish is cooked, just whisk full fat coconut milk with turmeric and pour it over the fish. Add salt and pepper to taste, dried basil and the rest of the lime juice. Cook it for 5 minutes when sauce starts to simmer and that's it! Delicious and flavorful fish with coconut and lime gravy is ready to serve! You will see, it will be delicious and creamy sauce with wonderful yellow color because of turmeric. We don't use turmeric because of a fantastic color only, it's also great for you because it has anti-inflammatory properties!

Serving coconut and lime fish

Serve this fish with coconut warm! I love serving it with this fried cauliflower rice.

If you like cilantro and crushed chili you can sprinkle some on top! That's what I do and I love to have it spicy!
