Coconut au natural is called for in this recipe. Unsweetened coconut is available in Caribbean groceries and health food stores. AVOID! Don't use the heavily sweetened coconut flakes used on cakes.*
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut, shredded shopping list
- 3/4 cup flour shopping list
- 1/2 cup milk shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 1 teaspoon salt plus more for the fish shopping list
- 4 6-ounce mahi mahi fillets, about 1/2-inch thick shopping list
- Freshly ground black pepper shopping list
- 2 tablespoons EVOO shopping list

- For passion fruit Sauce shopping list
- 1/2 cup dry white wine shopping list
- 2 shallots, peeled and minced shopping list
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice shopping list
- 1/4 cup passion fruit purée shopping list
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter shopping list
How to make it
- * PASSION FRUIT SAUCE
- Bring the wine, shallots, lime juice and passion fruit purée to a boil in a small, heavy saucepan and let it cook down until it's reduced to 1/3 cup, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat, and whisk in the butter until it's melted and the sauce is slightly thickened.
- * FISH
- Put the coconut, flour, milk and eggs in separate, shallow dishes.
- Beat the eggs well with 1 teaspoon salt, (This breaks up the whites and makes for a more even coating.)
- Sprinkle the fillets with salt and pepper.
- Dip filets one at a time in the milk, the flour, the egg mixture and then the coconut, coating them well on both sides.
- Place the fillets on a wire rack, and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to help the coating adhere.( Fish can be coated, covered and refrigerated for up to 3 or 4 hours before cooking.)
- Heat the oil and butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sauté the fillets, turning once, until the coconut is golden brown and the fish is opaque throughout, about 8 minutes.
- Transfer the fish to dinner plates, drizzle with passion fruit sauce, and serve immediately.
