Coconut Crusted Lime Fish

I say fish instead of listing Cod, Haddock, Tilapia or any other because we all have our budgets and fish is good cooked many different ways.  Granted I stick with my white fish. I got this recipe from a co-worker and it was awesome. But a word of caution: All of the amounts are estimated. I was given a list of items to use without measurements and just put together what looked right. So the description below is more of a guideline but the nutritional facts are based on what is listed below.

The picture does not do this justice!

Ingredients:
  • Juice from 2 fresh limes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil   (Oil should be equal to the amount of juice you get from the lemon)
  • 4 oz tilapia or other white fish
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1/2 cup Panko-bread crumbs
  • Shredded Coconut  (I used unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup Almonds (Chopped) ( I used Pecans which added too much 'sweet' likely will try cashews or walnuts next time)
  • Cayenne Pepper - don't hold back


Directions: 
We used a package of Cod Fillets.
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees
  2. Pour fresh lime juice and olive oil into a baking pan
  3. Place tilapia in pan, coat both sides in juice
  4. Sprinkle salt and Pepper on fish. 
  5. Sprinkle panko bread crumbs on to fish
  6. Sprinkle coconut on top of fish
  7. Sprinkle almonds (Can use pecans, walnuts or other kind of nut)
  8. Season with cayenne pepper. (More the better  )
  9. Bake approximately 8-20 minutes. Time depends on the size of the fillet. 
  10. Smaller Fillets 8-12 minutes
  11. Larger Fillets 15-20 minutes


This was for 1 serving. Recipe makes approx 4 servings.
