Ingredients


681 gm Atlantic Cod (Wild Cod doesn't have to be Atlantice; fillet, cut into 2 inch thick strips)
1 1/2 cup Coconut flour
1 1/2 tsp Ginger, ground
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
2 cup Coconut milk, sweetened
1 cup Coconut, shredded, unsweetened (finely shredded)
2 tbsp Coconut oil
1 mango Mango (peeled and diced)
1 avocado(s) Avocado (cubed)
1/2 small Red onion (diced)
1 cucumber(s) Cucumber (diced)
1 bunch Cilantro (coriander) (chopped)
2 clove(s) Garlic (minced)
1/2 tsp Sea Salt (sea)
1 tbsp Olive Oil, Extra Virgin
1 fruit Lime (juiced)

Instructions


1. Combine all of the mango salsa ingredients and set aside.

2. Wash, dry, and debone the cod fillets.

3. Combine the coconut flour, ginger powder and salt on a plate or shallow bowl. Place the coconut milk in another shallow bowl, as well as the shredded coconut. Dip the cod strips into the coconut milk, then the coconut flour mixture, back into the coconut milk, and finally into the shredded coconut, paying special attention to creating a thick breading.

4. Heat the coconut oil in the bottom of a skillet on high heat. When it is hot, cook the cod strips for five minutes a side depending on thickness of the fish, or until the top and bottom are nice and browned and the fish is cooked throughout. Once the cod strips are in the pan, try not to fuss with them too much – because there is no egg in the breading, they are a little delicate.

5. Serve with mango salsa.

Notes:

Instead of pan frying you can make it in the oven as well:

Generously grease a piece of parchment on a sheet pan, arrange the breaded fish on the parchment, and drizzle or brush the top of the fish with more melted oil. Bake at 450 for 10-12 minutes, carefully turning once during cooking with tongs. The thick breading protects the delicate fish from overcooking or drying out. I broiled the top at the end for about a minute to get a little more browning. The fish turned out gorgeous.
