red snapper
🥗Healthier: tilapia
💰Cheaper: catfish
Tilapia and catfish are more affordable and widely available alternatives.
flour
🥗Healthier: almond flour
💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour
Almond flour is lower in carbs, while all-purpose flour is more economical.
vegetable oil
🥗Healthier: coconut oil
💰Cheaper: canola oil
Coconut oil adds flavor, while canola oil is often less expensive.
lime
🥗Healthier: lemon
💰Cheaper: vinegar
Lemon provides similar acidity, while vinegar is a cost-effective substitute.
Cut off the fins and tail of the red snapper using kitchen scissors to avoid injury.
Make three diagonal cuts on each side of the fish to allow seasoning to penetrate.
Squeeze the juice of one whole lemon over the fish, ensuring it acts as a binder for the seasoning.
Rinse the fish and place it back in the bowl after removing excess lemon juice.
Add 0.5 teaspoon salt, 0.25 teaspoon adobo seasoning, 3 tablespoons minced garlic, 3 tablespoons sofrito, and 5 tablespoons achote to the fish.
Put on gloves and rub the seasoning into the fish thoroughly.
Let the seasoned fish sit for about half an hour, optionally placing it in a Ziploc bag with ice to keep it fresh.
Heat oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit in a deep frying pan.
Fry the fish for about 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through if using a pan.
Check doneness by bending the fish; it should be white and not fleshy near the bone.
