Coconut Encrusted Pineapple and Fish Kebabs with Mango Salsa
Description
Coconut Encrusted Pineapple and Fish Kebabs with Mango Salsa start by marinating fish and pineapple chunks in a mixture of coconut milk, ginger, chili flakes, garlic, lime juice, and salt. The marinated pieces are threaded onto skewers, rolled in desiccated coconut for a toasted, crunchy coating, and grilled until the fish is cooked through and the coconut forms a golden crust. The grilling enhances the sweetness of the pineapple and coco-nut flavor in the coating.
The accompanying lime mango salsa combines fresh mango, red onion, mild chili, and lime juice to add a bright, tangy, and mildly spicy contrast to the rich kebabs. Together they create a dish balancing sweet, spicy, creamy, and smoky elements.
This recipe suits summertime grilling or tropical-themed meals where a lively, fresh flavor profile complements tender seafood and fruit.
Ingredients
For the coconut, pineapple and fish kebabs:
- 8 wooden skewers
- 400 g fish skinless, 14oz chunks
- 150 g pineapple 5.3oz chunks
- 150 ml coconut milk 0.6 cup
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp chili flakes
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 tsp lime juice

- 4 tbsp desiccated coconut
- 2 tsp vegetable oil
For the lime mango salsa:
- 2 Mango peeled and cut into chunks

Instructions
- Soak the skewers for about 30 mins before use.

- Thread the fish and pineapple chunks alternatively on to the skewers.
- Decant the desiccated coconut onto a plate and then roll each kebab so that the coconut sticks to the fish and pineapple chunks.
