Vegan Coconut Lime Fish –
Our Vegan Coconut Lime Fish is an awesome quick & easy dinner recipe perfect for any day of the week! This unique vegan recipe is truly better than the real thing and will make you want to share it with all your friends! Our Vegan Thai Coconut Lime Sauce is tangy, savory, creamy, sweet, and with a slight kick of heat that is truly mouth-watering! You’ll be wanting this sauce as a topping on all your dishes after trying it! Especially after how easy it is to make.
For this recipe, we chose to use Gardein Fishless Filets for its amazing texture and flavor. They accomplished to create a vegan alternative to fish that has the exact flaky texture to a beer-battered fish! So good! James and I love having a couple of bags stowed in the fridge for a quick weekday dinner. However, if the Gardein filets are unavailable near you, roasted Cauliflower is a great alternative. Although cauliflower doesn’t resemble the texture of fish, it is a great accessible vegetable for this dish.
Yet again, another mom recipe! As a kid, my mom would make fried tilapia filets with this exact Thai inspired Coconut Lime Sauce and it was honestly my favorite. This recipe is definitely a comfort meal for us and the simple preparation makes it even better! The reason why James and I have become so passionate about vegan food is because of recipes like this where we can take the meals from our prior lifestyle and veganize it with vegan products.
Living a plant-based lifestyle is easy with recipes like these where your senses are detecting the same flavors, textures, and visual appearance you were once accustomed to in your non-vegan routine. James and I truly enjoy scouring the grocery aisles for different vegetables and plant-based products to come up with creative ways to please our palate while still maintaining a healthy diet. Experimenting in the kitchen along with our desire to be healthy and happy with our food has brought us here to where we create these awesome vegan recipes to share with you all! We hope you are inspired by our journey and hop along the ride with us. Comment below if you try out this recipe and let us know what you think!
