Everyone who knows me knows I despise fish.  Ever since I was a kid, I couldn’t stand the fishy smell or the texture.  I just started eating some seafood such as shrimp and calamari so I figured I would give fish another try.  I can’t say it was my favorite meal (simply because I am not a fan of fish) but it did bring out some flavor that I didn’t know existed in fish!

My goal in making fish was to “hide” the fishy taste.  I absolutely love coconut on everything so I decided coconut would be my main flavor.  I ended up with a nice, crunchy coconut/Panko breading that came out pretty good.  This is also very low-fat!

You will need:

• 2 4 oz Tilapia
• 1/2 cup Panko (Japanese style bread crumbs)
• 1/4 cup Coconut Flakes
• 1 egg
• Dash of milk
• fresh lemon wedge

Directions: Beat 1 egg and dash of milk together. Combine coconut and breadcrumbs together in separate bowl.
Roll tilapia in milk/egg mix and coat thoroughly with Panko and coconut mix. Squeeze fresh lemon for additional flavor.  Serves 2.
