Description

This recipe crusts fish fillets with a coconut, pecan, and bread crumb coating. They're baked and served with a sweet pineapple and fresh mango salsa.

Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) cans pineapple tidbits, drained
1 large mango, diced
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 medium red bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
4 (5 ounce) fish fillets, fresh or thawed
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup shredded coconut
2 tablespoons plain dry bread crumbs

Directions

1 Combine pineapple, mango, green onions, bell pepper, cilantro, red wine vinegar, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a bowl; chill until ready to serve.
2 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Line a 15 ½x10 ½x1-inch baking sheet with nonstick foil (with the dull, nonstick, side that will touch food up); set aside.
3 Combine butter, ½ teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Add fish; toss to coat.
4 Combine pecans, coconut, and bread crumbs in a bowl; spread onto a sheet of wax paper. Press fish into pecan mixture, turning to evenly coat; press in additional pecan mixture as necessary. Place fish in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
5 Bake in the preheated oven just until fish is opaque throughout, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with salsa.
