Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ lbs white fish fillets (like 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 or drizzle
  • 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 (for heat)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Set up your breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mix of shredded coconut, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and sea salt.
  3. Pat the fish fillets dry and coat them first in flour, then in egg, and finally in the coconut mixture until evenly covered.
  4. Place the breaded fish on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil. Bake for 16–18 minutes until golden brown.
  5. While the fish bakes, combine mango salsa ingredients (mango, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, lime juice) in a mixing bowl. Stir to combine and refrigerate until serving.
  6. Serve the baked fish topped with mango salsa.
