Ingredients
Scale
1½ lbs white fish fillets (like 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
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Set up three shallow dishes: one with almond flour/coconut flour, another with beaten eggs, and the third with shredded coconut, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and sea salt.
Pat fish fillets dry and coat each first in flour, then in egg, and finally press into the coconut mixture.
Place coated fish on the baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil. Bake for 16–18 minutes or until golden brown.
While the fish bakes, combine diced mango, chopped red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt & pepper in a bowl to make salsa; refrigerate until serving.
