Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) fish fillets (such as tuna or snapper)
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small red chili, finely chopped (optional, for heat)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Fish

Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces.

Make the Marinade

In a bowl, mix together the coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and finely chopped onion. Add red chili if using.

Marinate the Fish

Place the fish pieces in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Cook the Fish

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Remove the fish from the marinade and cook in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Serve

Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve hot with rice or vegetables.
