Golden garlic in coconut oil, fish done in five minutes, Casa M seasonings seal the deal
Ingredients
For the Fish:
- 2 white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, grouper, haddock, snapper, catfish, etc.)
- juice of one lime
- Casa M Spice Co Chain Reaction to taste
- black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
Pulling It All Together:
- 2 Tablespoons Casa M Spice Co Hooked
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 6 cloves garlic, sliced thin
- 3 Tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped finely for garnish
Method
-
01
Season the fish
2 minHit both sides of your fillets with lime juice, salt, pepper, and Chain Reaction — this is your flavor foundation, so don't be shy. Let it sit a minute so the seasonings stick.
-
02
Heat the oil and cook the garlic
4 minGet your coconut oil to medium heat, then add those thin garlic slices and stir often until they turn light golden. Watch it like a hawk — garlic burns fast and tastes like ash, so the second it's golden, you're done.
-
03
Remove garlic and reserve
1 minPull the garlic out and set it aside on a plate — you're going to use it as a topping, so don't let it sit in that hot oil another second.
-
04
Cook the fish
6 minLay your fillets in that same skillet and give them about 3 minutes per side — the fish is done when it flakes easy with a fork and is opaque all the way through. Don't flip it around; let it sit and cook clean.

05
Finish and serve
1 minTransfer fish to your plate, scatter that golden garlic and fresh parsley on top, and dust with Hooked for one last layer of flavor. Serve hot with whatever sides you like.
From Mike's Notebook
Slice garlic thin so it colors evenly in the oil without burning or turning bitter.
Don't move the fish until the bottom's golden — it'll release naturally when it's ready.
Finish with lime juice off heat; acid added to hot oil breaks down the garlic's punch.
