How to Make Bangus (Filipino Milkfish) and Crispy Pork Belly Sisig Recipe using Air Fryer

About:

Sisig is a Filipino dish. It is typically made from parts of pig head and chicken liver, usually seasoned with calamansi, onions and chili peppers.

In this recipe, I used Bangus (Milkfish) that gives you different twist in Filipino’s favorite dish. It is as good as the typical sisig but if you love fish, this sisig is the best one and you should try it out!

To make it easier to cook the Bangus (Milkfish), I used an Air Fryer. In this way, less oil is needed (compared to the typical Filipino way of cooking it) and less mess and super quick to make it.

Steps

[Milkfish Air Fry]

Season the milkfish with salt and pepper (you can also add garlic powder)
Coat with the oil.
Pop it in the Air Fryer (skin side down) and cook for 15 to 20 minutes at 400F.
Note: depending on the size of the fish, cover the tail with a foil to avoid burning it.
Mid way, remove the foil and continue cooking.
Once the fish is cooked, transfer it to a tray and cool it down.
Note: Do not cook through the fish as we will be cooking more in a skillet later.
Shred the meat of the fish and put it in a bowl and set aside.
Check the fish meat and make sure there is no fish bone.
Keep the empty skin for later use.
