Ingredients
For the Fish:
- 1 lb tilapia (or halibut/cod), cut into 1/2 inch by 3-4 inch strips
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons cumin powder
- dash of pepper
- Coconut oil for frying
For the White Sauce:
To Eat:
- 4–6 lettuce leaves
- 1 cup salsa (recipe here)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 4–6 slices of lime
Instructions
For the White Sauce:
- Mix all the ingredients together with a fork. Add in the honey if you find the sauce too sour.
For the Fish:
- Mix together all the dry ingredients (coconut flour, garlic powder, cumin powder, salt, pepper) in a bowl.
- Drop the fish strips into the bowl and coat with the coconut flour mixture.
- Heat up enough coconut oil in a saucepan so that the coconut oil is approx. 1/2 inch deep. Use a high heat.
- Carefully add the coated fish strips to the hot coconut oil.
- Fry until the coconut flour coating turns a golden brown color (takes approx. 5 minutes). You should turn the fish strips over after a few minutes since the oil doesn’t cover the entire piece of fish.
- Place the fried fish strips in a bowl lined with a paper towel to soak up the excess oil.
To Eat:
- Wash the lettuce leaves and pat try with a paper towel.
- Place 5-6 fish strips onto of a lettuce leaf. Top with salsa and white sauce. Sprinkle some chopped cilantro on top for garnish and serve with a few slices of lime.
