Serve it atop crisp lettuce leaves for added crunch and a wholesome touch. Perfect for health-conscious foodies and anyone looking for a quick, healthy meal in under 45 minutes!
Start by preparing the bangus. Place the bangus fillet skin-side down on a baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of black pepper.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the bangus fillet for 15 minutes or until cooked through and easily flaked with a fork.
Once cooled, flake the bangus fillet into bite-sized pieces, discarding the skin. Set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped red and green bell peppers, cooking for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the flaked bangus to the skillet and mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Pour in the calamansi juice and low-sodium soy sauce, stirring gently to coat the bangus with the mixture.
Sprinkle the finely chopped green chili and a pinch of salt (optional), adjusting to taste. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Serve the bangus sisig warm, on top of fresh lettuce leaves for a refreshing crunch, as part of a healthy meal.
