Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ lbs white fish fillets (cod, halibut, or tilapia)
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup almond flour or coconut flour
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • Olive oil spray
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • ½ red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • ¼ red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 small jalapeño, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and the last with a mixture of shredded coconut, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and sea salt.
  3. Pat each fish fillet dry, then coat them first in flour, then in egg, and finally in the coconut mixture until fully covered.
  4. Arrange the coated fillets on the baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil. Bake for 16–18 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown.
  5. While the fish is baking, mix together diced mango, red bell pepper, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl for the salsa.
  6. Serve the crispy fish topped with fresh mango salsa.
