Categories     Fish     Fruit     Vegetarian

Yield Serves 4.

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tilapia filets
3 eggs (beaten)
1 cup flour
1 cup plain unflavored breadcrumbs
1 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pink grapefruit (it's sweeter than the white)
1 orange
1 lime
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Peel and quarter each piece of fruit. You may want to shred the fruit finer if you don't want large chunks. Sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar over the mixture to sweeten slightly. Place in fridge until you're ready to serve. Rinse the tilapia with cold water and pat dry. On a large plate, mix together the shredded coconut and breadcrumbs. You'll need three separate plates for the breading: one for flour, one for eggs and one for the coconut and breadcrumb mixture. Dredge the fish in the flour; dip into the beaten eggs and then coat thoroughly in the coconut and breadcrumb mixture. Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil over medium heat in a large skillet and place the breaded fillets so that they are not touching each other. Cook on each side for about 4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Place each fillet on a plate and spoon salsa over top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro.

I was a bit skeptical about the coconut crust, but it turned out to be delicious. The citrus salsa was also a great addition.

This coconut-crusted tilapia with citrus salsa was a hit with my family! The fish was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, and the salsa was a perfect complement. I will definitely be making this dish again.
