Coconut Crusted Baked Fish Tacos
Crispy on the outside, flaky fish layers, and a delicious texture is what you get with these coconut-crusted baked fish tacos.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup coconut shredded, unsweetened
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
- 16 ounces cod filet
- 2 lime divided
- ½ cup Pico de Gallo fresh
- ½ Mango diced
- 1 ½ cups purple cabbage shredded
- 8 corn tortillas store-bought or homemade
- 1 avocado pitted, peeled, and sliced, small
- 2 tablespoons cotija cheese crumbled, optional
- 1 jalapeño seeded and minced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180 C) and place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a shallow pie dish or plate, combine the coconut, panko bread crumbs, and seasoning.
- Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel. Squeeze one lime over all the fish, then transfer the fish, one piece at a time, to the coconut breading and turn to coat on both sides. Place the breaded fish on the wire rack. Spray with oil spray on both sides. Repeat process with remaining fish pieces.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish until it easily separates with a fork and it's cooked through. Transfer the fish to a plate and use a fork to break up the fish into smaller pieces.
- While the fish cooks, combine the pico de gallo and mango in a bowl.
- Assemble the tacos by layering cabbage on each tortilla, top with some fish pieces, mango, pico de gallo, avocado slices, sprinkled Cotija cheese, and jalapeño pieces. Squeeze lime over the top for ultimate enjoyment.
