Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- Cooking Spray
- 1 cup of slivered almonds
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened coconut shreds
- Zest of one lime
- 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/4 cup of light coconut milk (unsweetened)
- Juice of one small lime
- Four 6-ounce cod filets
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
- Lime wedges for serving
Instruction
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a food processor, whirl together the coconut, almonds, a bit of lime zest, black pepper and cayenne pepper for about 10 – 15 seconds. Pour in a dish and set aside.
- In a baking dish, whisk together the light coconut milk and lime juice. Set aside.
- In a third baking dish (preferably a 9 x 13 or so), spray with the cooking spray.
- Take the cod, dry it a bit with paper towel and sprinkle with salt.
- Dip the cod filets in the coconut milk mixture, making sure that all sides are covered.
- Crust the cod on all sides with the coconut almond mixture and place in the prepared baking dish.
- Continue with the rest of the cod and, when the prepared cod filets are ready, lightly spray the tops with a bit of baking spray and bake for about 12 - 15 minutes. The topping should be browned and the fish should be opaque and lightly flake with a fork.
- Enjoy!
