Ingredients

  • 500 grams white fish fillets (e.g., snapper or tilapia)
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

  2. 2

    In a bowl, mix the shredded coconut, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Rub the fish fillets with lime juice and olive oil, then coat them with the coconut-breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

  4. 4

    Place the coated fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.

  5. 5

    While the fish is baking, prepare the spicy mango salsa by combining diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro in a separate bowl. Season with salt and lime juice to taste.

  6. 6

    Once the fish is done, remove it from the oven and serve it hot with a generous spoonful of spicy mango salsa on top.
