Indulge in the tropical fusion of crispy coconut-crusted fish fillets and a vibrant mango salsa in this delightful recipe. It’s a quick and easy weeknight meal that’s bursting with flavor.
Ingredients
– 4 white fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod)
– 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 eggs, beaten
– 1 ripe mango, diced
– 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
– 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
– Juice of 1 lime
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a shallow bowl, combine the shredded coconut and flour. Dip the fish fillets in the beaten eggs, then coat them evenly with the coconut-flour mixture.
3. Arrange the coated fish fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake the coconut-crusted fish for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the coconut is golden brown.
5. While the fish is baking, prepare the mango salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve the warm coconut-crusted fish fillets with the refreshing mango salsa on the side.
Notes
For a spicier salsa, leave some of the jalapeño seeds. You can also adjust the seasoning to your liking. This dish pairs well with steamed rice or a fresh green salad.
