Coconut Crusted Tilapia With Citrus Salsa

  1. Peel and quarter each piece of fruit. You may want to shred the fruit finer if you don't want large chunks. Sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar over the mixture to sweeten slightly. Place in fridge until you're ready to serve.
  2. Rinse the tilapia with cold water and pat dry. On a large plate, mix together the shredded coconut and breadcrumbs. You'll need three separate plates for the breading: one for flour, one for eggs and one for the coconut and breadcrumb mixture. Dredge the fish in the flour; dip into the beaten eggs and then coat thoroughly in the coconut and breadcrumb mixture.
  3. Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil over medium heat in a large skillet and place the breaded fillets so that they are not touching each other. Cook on each side for about 4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  4. Place each fillet on a plate and spoon salsa over top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro.
