You know that eating fish is good for you,
but are you eating it on a regular basis? You should be at least 2 six ounce servings per week. Fish is brain food, rich in Omega 3. Some fish are higher in Omega 3 than others, but all fish are part of a healthy diet. Coconut and Almond Crusted Fish is a delicious way to enjoy fish and easy to prepare (it is also low-carb with 6 net carbs per serving).
32 ounces of fish (eight fillets) I used frozen Barramundi from BJ's
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp of Dijon Mustard
2 Tbsp of Lemon or Lime Juice
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper
2 cups of ground almonds (or use almond flour)
2 cup or un-sweetened flake coconut (you can make your own, you will have milk as well, you want to use the strained solids).
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Defrost fish if necessary. Mix mayo, mustard, juice, 1 tsp salt and cayenne pepper. In a separate bowl mix coconut and almonds. Coat fish fillets in mayo/mustard mixture and then coat the fish with almond/coconut mixture. Bake for 15 minutes.
