Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while generic brands can save money.

Wash and clean the lionfish, using 1/4 cup lemon juice in water to remove bacteria and odor.

Drain excess moisture from the lionfish.

Season the lionfish with salt, black pepper, and green seasoning, allowing it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Sift all-purpose flour into a bowl and add salt, brown sugar, and baking powder.

Mix the dry ingredients together.

Make a well in the center of the flour and gradually add water to form a soft dough.

Knead the dough until it is smooth and not sticky, then cover and let it rest.

Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape them into balls.

Roll out each ball into a flat disc.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan until hot, then fry the discs until golden brown, splashing oil on them to help them puff up.

Remove the fried bakes and drain on a wire rack.

Coat the marinated lionfish fillets in all-purpose flour and fry until cooked through.

Assemble the dish by placing fried lionfish on top of lettuce and adding sauces.
