Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat and dry fish fillets.

  2. 2

    Sprinkle both sides with a pinch or two of salt and pepper. Squirt juice from 1/2 of the lemon and drizzle the coconut milk over top. Turn to ensure everything is coated well.

  3. 3

    Let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to marinate.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile prepare the breading by combining the almond meal, shredded coconut, salt, pepper, ginger and mint in a shallow bowl.

  5. 5

    Cover the bottom of a large skillet with oil and bring to medium heat.

  6. 6

    Lay fillets carefully in the skillet and cook, flipping fish halfway through cooking, until both sides are golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork. Three to five minutes per side for thin fillets, longer if they're thicker.

  7. 7

    Transfer to a stack of paper towels to drain and cool slightly.

  8. 8

    Serve with Tropical Sweets & Reds Mash.
