Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated lemon zest, red chili flakes, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with the breadcrumb mixture.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Dredge each fillet in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the egg, and finally coat in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to adhere the crumbs to the fish.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the crumbed fillets for 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer the fillets to the prepared baking sheet.
Place the fish in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish bakes, prepare the coconut rice. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, and granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
To serve, plate the coconut rice alongside the crumbed fish. Garnish with fresh lime wedges for squeezing over the dish.
