Coconut Crusted Cod Recipe
Crispy baked coconut cod breaded with shredded coconut and panko crumbs.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 pound cod or haddock filet cut into 6-8 ounce portions
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup panko crumbs
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey
- salt and pepper to taste
- Half a lime juice squeezed
- 1-2 tablespoons chopped cilantro for garnish
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F.
- Warm the honey in a microwave-safe cup for 15 seconds with a splash of water so it can be easily mixed.
- Combine the honey, lime juice and egg in a small bowl, whisk until honey dissolves. Set aside. Combine the panko crumbs and shredded coconut on a plate or pie dish. Mix and set aside.
- Pat the cod filets dry using a paper towel, season each side with salt and pepper.
- Dip the filets in the egg mixture and then dredge in the coconut/breadcrumb mixture.
- Bake for 20 minutes. If you would like more toasted coconut, broil on high for an additional 3-5 minutes. Serve immediately sprinkled with cilantro and with lime wedges.
Notes
I've found cod or haddock is best prepared in small 6-8 ounce fillets. It's much easier to prepare and serve due to cod's very flaky nature. If you buy a large 1-2 pound cod filet, cut it width-wise into smaller individual portions for best results.
