Coconut Crusted Fish Fingers Recipes

COCONUT FISH STICKS

Steps:

• Combine the fish and milk in a large bowl; let soak. Mix the chutney, jalapeno, scallions, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Combine the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a shallow bowl. Beat the eggs with 1/4 cup water in another shallow bowl. Mix the breadcrumbs, coconut, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a third shallow bowl. Drain the fish, then coat each piece in the seasoned flour, dip in the egg mixture and roll in the breadcrumb mixture. Set on a rack until ready to cook. Put the broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl with 3 tablespoons water, cover with plastic wrap and microwave until tender, 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the fish sticks until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve with the broccoli, lemon wedges and chutney sauce.

COCONUT CRUSTED FISH FINGERS

Steps:

• 1. Place the fish in a bowl with the lime juice, coconut cream and 1/4 tsp of salt. Mix, then leave in the fridge for an hour to marinate (don't leave it for much longer than that as the fish will start to disintegrate). Scrape off and discard as much of the cream as you can from the fish, then set aside.
• 2. Place a large frying pan on a medium high heat, and, once hot, add the coconut. Dry-fry for 2-3 minutes stirring until golden. Transfer to a medium shallow bowl and set aside to cool, then mix in the [anko, hill flakes and 1/2 tsp of salt.
• 3. When ready to cook, set your oven broiler to high with rack in middle of oven.
• 4. Coating one at a time, dip a piece of fish into the melted oil/butter, followed by the coconut mix. Toss until it is coated on all sides and transfer to a wire rack placed on top of a large parchment-lined baking tray. Continue with the remaining pieces.
