Coconut Crusted Fish Fillets

Cook Time 30 minutes

Serves 4

Ingredients

½ cup desiccated coconut

½ tsp turmeric

½ cup panko breadcrumbs

1 tsp light soy sauce

65ml coconut milk 

4 x 100g firm white fish fillets like cod, barramundi, snapper

Light olive oil or peanut oil, for frying

To Serve

Salsa, to serve (mango, cucumber, onion, tomato and lime is great)

Method

In a shallow bowl, mix the desiccated coconut, turmeric and panko breadcrumbs.

Whisk soy sauce into the coconut milk.

Pat fish fillets dry. Dip each fillet into the coconut milk mixture, then press into the coconut-panko mixture, ensuring an even coating.
