COCONUT TILAPIA WITH APRICOT DIPPING SAUCE



Coconut Tilapia With Apricot Dipping Sauce image

I found this recipe on the internet and only made it because I thought my DH would like it (I don't care that much for coconut in my main meal, or so I thought!). It turns out we all loved it, even my kids. It came out nice and crunchy and the sauce keeps it fresh and light tasting. I used a pre-mixed Creole spice that was frankly too salty (and I really love salt), so if I had to do it over again, I'd make my own mixture. I think any apricot dipping sauce with an Asian flair would complement this dish.

COCONUT TILAPIA



Coconut Tilapia image

I created this recipe in an attempt to add some flavor to Tilapia. I enjoy eating Tilapia, but other ingredients are usually needed to make it worth eating. This recipe is fairly quick and painless. I change some of the ingredient amounts depending on my particular cravings for that specific day.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 25m

Yield 2 fillets, 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tilapia fillets
1 egg
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 cups coconut flakes
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon peanut butter
2 tablespoons curry sauce (can be bought in stores or can be made by combining coconut milk and green curry powder)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon soy sauce
1 pinch ginger
1 pinch sage
1/4 teaspoon brown sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • In a wide bowl/container, mix coconut flakes, curry powder, garlic powder, paprika (set aside).
  • In a small bowl, mix 1 egg, 1/4 cup water and 1/3 cup of corn starch.
  • Dip the Tilapia fillets in the egg mixture. Use a plastic bag to cover your hands when handling fillets, if preferred. Coat the fillets thoroughly with the coconut flake mixture, especially along the top, as this dramatically improves the appearance of the dish while baking.
  • Bake the Tilapia fillets at 350 degrees for about 12-14 minutes (or however long until the fish is fully white). Use cooking spray or butter the pan so the fish does not stick.
  • While the Tilapia is baking, make the peanut sauce. Mix all of the ingredients listed above. Vary ingredient amounts to your liking. Cool or set aside until the Tilapia is ready.
  • Broil the fillets for a few minutes until golden.
  • Serve the fillets on a plate and scoop the peanut sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose a fresh tilapia fillet: Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Use a light hand with the spices: Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overpower it with too many spices. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is all you need.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Tilapia cooks quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the fish immediately with the apricot dipping sauce: The apricot dipping sauce is the perfect complement to the coconut tilapia. It's sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy.

Conclusion:

Coconut tilapia with apricot dipping sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The tilapia is flaky and flavorful, and the apricot dipping sauce is the perfect complement. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table!
