Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ lbs white fish fillets (cod, halibut, or tilapia)
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs (gluten-free if desired)
  • 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 your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Set up three shallow dishes: one with almond 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 the fish fillets dry. Coat each fillet in almond flour, dip into the egg mixture, then press into the coconut mixture until evenly coated.
