A first time for everything.

The first time I made this recipe, I had a little feeling of trepidation feeding it to my kids for dinner. It was the first time Iโ€™d ever โ€œbreadedโ€ fish, let alone just used coconut to โ€œbreadโ€ something. But thereโ€™s a first time for everything, right? And what better time to try first things than when you have a posse of starving children and a husband who doesnโ€™t like fish waiting for dinnerโ€ฆ

Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised by the general love of this meal and the sorrow that there wasnโ€™t more after its quick disappearance!

Crispy Coconut Pan-Fried Salmon 2

Salmon, or tilapia?

If youโ€™ve been around this blog for a loooong time (like I haveโ€ฆ) you might remember a little olโ€™ recipe I posted way back when. It was called crispy coconut fried tilapia. And it was delicious.

But since then Iโ€™ve pretty much stopped eating tilapia. Not because Iโ€™m up on all the hype that itโ€™s as awful as garbage, but because I canโ€™t find any of good quality. Salmon, on the other hand, can be found wil- caught and frozen at my local wonderful Aldi.

ย And I just happen to love salmon waaaaay more than tilapia anyway.

If you love tilapia more than salmon, or you have a good source for quality tilapia, you can go ahead and use that instead. Itโ€™s pretty yummy!

Crispy Coconut Pan-Fried Salmon 6

Crispy Coconut Pan-Fried Salmon.

This recipe is super-d-duper simple, as my kids say. And if you count all the variations of coconut in this recipe as one ingredient, then itโ€™s really only a 2 ingredient recipe, also! Coconut oil, coconut flour, shredded coconutโ€ฆ itโ€™s all coconut, right? So bread up your salmon with all those coconut parts, pan-fry, and squeeze a little fresh lemon juice on top.

I guarantee it will be a hit!

Ingredients

Instructions

Heat the coconut oil in skillet over medium-low heat (I use my cast iron skillet).

Set out two shallow dishes or bowls, one with coconut milk, and one with the coconut flour, shredded coconut, salt, and pepper.

Dip the fish in the coconut milk then coat with coconut mixture.

Fry in the coconut oil until the salmon is golden-browned and flakey. (This takes about 2-3 minutes per side, depending on how thick your fillets are.)

Serve with a squeeze of lemon, if desired.
