Coconut Crusted Tilapia

Whipped this up for a quick post- rock climbing dinner. It turned out so tasty I thought I should share.

Serves 2 (can easily be scaled)

2 6-oz tilapia fillets
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 egg
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
Smoked paprika and/or cayenne, optional

Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare a baking sheet with oiled tin foil or silicon baking sheet.

Season with salt, pepper, and paprika/cayenne to taste.

Beat egg with 2 tbsp water in a shallow dish wide enough to fit the fillets (I used a pie dish).
In another shallow dish, put the coconut flakes
Sprinkle the coconut flour over a plate large enough to dredge the fillets.

One by one, dredge the tilapia in the coconut flour, then egg wash, then coconut flakes. Transfer carefully to baking sheet, and bake for 20-25 minutes, until done, depending on thickness.

Serve and enjoy!
