This recipe originally called for Snapper, a fish naturally high in Potassium. Instead we used Tilapia which is higher in protein and much lower in potassium. Use fresh Tilapia for the best results.
Heat oil in frying pan on medium and sautée onion and bell peppers.
Add black pepper, hot pepper sauce, thyme, ketchup, lime juice and 1/2 cup of hot water and stir.
Place fish in pan and add 1/2 cup hot water and spoon vegetables and sauce over fish.
Cover pan and cook for 5 minutes. Turn fish and cook covered for 5 more minutes, or until done.

So relieved to find this site. Did this recipe today, though I did tweak it a bit, for my husband’s sake. Added dried cilantro leaves, roasted the red bell pepper first and skinned it, added 1 tsp minced garlic. Sauteed the vegis et al. and set them aside. Total H2O 1/2 cup. Then lightly floured the fish with 1 tbsp all-purpose before putting them into the hot iron skillet, 2 min, then flipped them, topped with the vegi/sauce, covered and finished cooking 5 min. The fillets had just a hint of crispness that way. Under 500 mg potassium, less than half our targets! Left him plenty of ‘wiggle room’ for a bite sized Kit Kat at 32 mg for dessert.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the recipe and made it your own!
I like the recipes. Haven’t been able to set up meal plan though.
