Coconut Crusted Tilapia with Peach Salsa or Pineapple Chutney...

Coconut Crusted Tilapia

Ingredients:

1 cup flaked coconut, finely chopped (I used sweetened flaked coconut and put it in my food processor and it was delicious)

2 tablespoons flour

1 tablespoon Creole seasoning (we use Tony Chachere Creole Seasoning)

4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia

1/2 cup cornstarch

1 (4 ounce) carton egg substitute (or 2 whisked eggs)

1/2 cup canola oil

Directions:

Toss together the coconut, flour and Creole seasoning in a bowl. In a separate bowl, toss the tilapia with the cornstarch, and shake off the excess. Pour the eggs into a separate bowl, and dip the fillets in the eggs. Press fillets in the coconut mixture coating all sides.
1. Place fillets on a foil covered cookie sheet sprayed with Pam. Lightly spray the tops of the fillets with Pam as well. Bake for approximately 30 minutes at 425 degrees. Turn the fillets over half way through the baking process. Bake until they're up to an internal temerpature of 140 degrees. The coconut will turn a golden brown as well.
