A 445-calorie Dinner recipe from MunchInIt. Serves 2. Prep 10 min, cook 15 min.

Ingredients

• 300g white fish fillets (e.g., cod, halibut, tilapia)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 160g broccolini, trimmed
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• For the "Peanut-Free" Sauce:
• 2 tbsp almond butter (unsweetened)
• 1 tbsp tamari or coconut aminos
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tsp sriracha (optional, for a kick)
• 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 1/4 cup warm water (or coconut milk for richer sauce)

Instructions

1. Prep: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Trim the broccolini. Whisk together all "Peanut-Free" Sauce ingredients until smooth, adding water or coconut milk gradually to reach desired consistency.
2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Once the pan is hot, carefully place the fish fillets skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through and flakes easily.
4. While the fish cooks, steam the broccolini in a microwave-safe dish with a splash of water for 2-3 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Alternatively, sauté it lightly in a separate pan.
5. Divide the pan-seared white fish and steamed broccolini evenly between two plates.
6. Spoon the Thai "Peanut-Free" Sauce generously over the fish and broccolini.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, keto-friendly dinner.
