Coating and Cooking
- In a shallow dish, combine shredded coconut, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir thoroughly until evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs. Place flour in another shallow dish.
- Dredge each fish fillet in the flour, dip into beaten eggs, then press into the coconut mixture.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop in a small piece of fish to test the oil.
- Carefully add the coated fish and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Use a slotted spatula to transfer cooked fillets to paper towels to drain excess oil.
- In a bowl, combine diced mango, chopped red onion, diced bell pepper, minced jalapeño, lime juice, and salt to make the salsa.
- Serve the Coconut Crusted Fish topped with mango salsa, garnished with lime wedges and fresh cilantro.
