Golden Turmeric Fish

(8)

Island flavors like coconut, lime, ginger, and mango make this quick and easy fish recipe taste like something you'd order at a restaurant during a beach vacation. While this recipe is delicious and doable any time of year, we love to use it to transport to another land on a cold winter day.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon unrefined coconut oil

  • 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice

  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric

  • teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 4 5-6 ounce red snapper fish fillets

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • Purchased mango chutney

  • Chopped fresh cilantro

  • Lime wedges

Directions

  1. Preheat broiler. In a small bowl combine coconut oil, lime juice, ginger, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Season fish with salt and black pepper. Spread skinless sides of fish with coconut oil mixture.

  2. Place fish on a greased broiler pan. Broil 4 inches from heat 8 to 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily. Serve topped with chutney and cilantro.

Tips

Coconut oil is solid at room temperature, just like shortening, and liquefies when it's warm. It doesn't matter whether it's solid or liquid when you stir it into the spices to make the rub.
