Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 fillets white fish (like tilapia, cod, or snapper)
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ripe mango (diced)
  • 1/2 red onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 jalapeño seeded and minced (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In three shallow bowls, prepare the coating: mix flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in one; whisk eggs in another; combine shredded coconut and breadcrumbs in the third.
  3. Dredge each fish fillet in flour mixture, dip in egg wash, then coat with the coconut-breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook fillets for about 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Then transfer to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until cooked through.
  5. For the salsa, combine diced mango, chopped onion and bell pepper, lime juice, cilantro, and salt in a bowl; mix gently.
  6. Serve the fish hot topped with mango salsa.
