Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or snapper)
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup paw paw (papaya), diced
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 small red onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 small serrano or jalapeño pepper, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the coconut lime mixture over the fish, ensuring each fillet is well-coated.

Step 4

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

While the fish is baking, prepare the paw paw and raspberry salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced paw paw, raspberries, red onion, chopped cilantro, serrano or jalapeño pepper, honey, and a pinch of salt. Gently toss to mix without crushing the fruit.

Step 6

Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, adding more honey or salt as needed to balance the flavors.

Step 7

Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two. Plate the baked fish and spoon the paw paw and raspberry salsa generously over the top.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your choice of sides such as jasmine rice, steamed vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
