Ingredients

• 4 pieces (4-6 oz each) Mahi Mahi fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Chopped macadamia nuts
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 8 Corn tortillas
• 1 cup Pineapple, diced
• 1 cup Mango, diced
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, finely diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for salsa)
• 1 sliced Avocado slices (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season the Mahi Mahi fillets with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, shredded coconut, and chopped macadamia nuts.

Step 3

Dredge each Mahi Mahi fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it in the beaten eggs, then coat it fully in the coconut/nut/breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to help the coating adhere.

Step 4

Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

In a bowl, combine the diced pineapple, diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt to make the tropical fruit salsa. Mix well.

Step 6

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by placing a piece of nut-crusted Mahi Mahi on each tortilla. Top with a generous spoonful of tropical fruit salsa. Add avocado slices if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical flavors!
