1 to 2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
3 to 4 Tablespoons of Coconut Flour

Sauté the fish in coconut oil over medium-high heat for approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your fish, until the coating is golden brown and the fish is cooked, and flakes to the touch. Garnish with lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
Sides:
Boosted Broccoli • Servings: 4
Broccoli is a super vegetable on its own full of vitamins and nutrients but when combined with the healthy omega-3’s of anchovies- it is amazingly nutritious. When heated, the anchovies just melt into the sauce. People who don’t like anchovies will eat this dish.
4 Anchovy Fillets
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Head Broccoli Cut into Florets
3 Cloves Garlic, Sliced Thinly
1 Lemon, Juiced
Place the anchovy fillets in a small, cold skillet and slowly heat over low heat (do not overheat). You can use a fork to break up the anchovies as they heat. Once melted, turn off the heat. In a separate pan, heat olive oil on medium heat (do not let it smoke) and add the garlic. Stir until light brown. Use a fork to take the garlic slices out of the pan and drain them on paper towels. Transfer the melted anchovies to a small bowl and add 1 tablespoon of the garlic oil and the lemon juice. Stir until mixed. Steam the broccoli over boiling water until just tender- no more than 5 minutes. Put broccoli in a serving dish with the fried garlic slices and the anchovy sauce.
