Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

INGREDIENTS

  • 2, 5 oz. mahi mahi fillets
  • Salt and pepper
  • Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy seasoning
  • ¼ cup cashews; very finely chopped
  • ¼ cup unsweetened coconut; finely shredded
  • 1 Tbs. tapioca or arrowroot flour
  • 1 medium orange; peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 medium banana; peeled and sliced
  • ¼ cup red onion; finely chopped
  • 1 medium poblaño pepper; roasted, peeled, seeded and diced
  • ¼ cup cilantro; chopped
  • Salt to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix together the cashews, coconut and tapioca flour in a small bowl. In a separate, larger bowl, combine the orange, banana, red onion, poblaño, cilantro, and season with salt as needed. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the fish is ready. Pat the fish dry with a paper towel and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and the spicy seasoning blend, then top each fillet with the cashew/coconut mixture, divided evenly. Bake the fish for 18-20 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Top with the orange-banana salsa and serve.
