  • Total Time: 33 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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. Lightly spray with olive oil.
  2. Set up three shallow dishes: one with almond flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last combining shredded coconut, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and sea salt.
  3. Pat fish fillets dry. Dip each fillet first into almond flour, then into the egg, and finally into the coconut mixture until well coated.
  4. Place coated fish on the baking sheet and lightly spray tops with olive oil. Bake for 16–18 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. While the fish bakes, mix diced mango, chopped bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl for salsa.
  6. Serve hot topped with mango salsa.
