Ingredients
  • Four 8 oz. red snapper fillets with skin (boned, rinsed, and patted dry)
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil

Directions
  1. In a shallow bowl combine coconut, 1/4 cup flour, curry powder, coriander, cumin, black pepper, and salt.
  2. Mix the ingredients together until evenly combined.
  3. In another shallow bowl whisk together the egg and the milk.
  4. Place the remaining 1/4 cup flour in a shallow bowl.
  5. For each fillet: working with the skin side only, press each fillet into the flour, then into the egg/milk mixture, and then into the coconut mixture.

I loved it


So glad you enjoyed this.


Amazed that more people haven't made this recipe. Planning on using your recipe tonight and I'll let you know how it turns out. Great post.


Your red snapper recipe was fabulous. Only fried the fish longer than was suggested in the recipe.
