CARIBBEAN FISH WITH MANGO SALSA
Now for something completely different, how about a little Caribbean/Creole feel? This can be done with fish or with scallops and will wake up the little taste buds. Please forgive me, I am not a real recipe follower, and I change it around all the time. Hope this works for you, love to hear about it. I never wrote it as a recipe, sort of a seat of the pants guy. One item to complete it that I may add is Zatarain's Caribbean Rice®, and in this I add 1/2 red bell pepper and 1/4 cup of fresh pineapple.

EILEEN'S FRUIT SALSA FOR FISH OR CHICKEN
I made this up when we were having fish. Everyone loved it, and it has been used ever since. Easy to make. I use a plastic spoon to serve so as not to have the acid in the salad cause the taste to change when a metal spoon is used.

BAKED FISH WITH COCONUT BREADING & FRUIT SALSA
Steps:
- Fish: beat egg with salt and cayenne pepper. Mix coconut and breadcrumbs, add S&P. Drag fish fillet in cornstarch, then coat with egg. Then press both sides of fish in breading. bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Salsa: Combine kiwi, lime, jalapeno, papaya, onion, avocado and red pepper
Tips:
- Choose the Right Fish: For this recipe, firm-fleshed fish like cod, tilapia, or halibut work best. They can withstand the baking process without falling apart.
- Make Sure the Fish is Dry: Before coating the fish in the coconut breading, pat it dry with paper towels. This will help the breading adhere better.
- Use Fresh Coconut: Fresh coconut adds a vibrant flavor to the breading. If you don't have fresh coconut, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut, but the flavor won't be as pronounced.
- Don't Overcook the Fish: Fish cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it in the oven. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
- Serve with Fruit Salsa: The fruit salsa is a refreshing and flavorful complement to the baked coconut fish. It adds a pop of sweetness and acidity that balances the richness of the fish.
Conclusion:
Baked coconut fish with fruit salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual lunch. The fish is tender and flaky, with a crispy coconut breading, and the fruit salsa adds a refreshing and flavorful touch. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
