  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • 4 tbsp. coconut oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions
  1. In a food processor or Vita mix finely ground the nuts.
  2. In a bowl mix nut flour, shredded coconut, coconut oil and sea salt. Set aside.
  3. Lay fish in a large casserole dish so they are not overlapping and squeeze lime juice on top.
  4. Cover fish with nut mixture and bake for 20-25 min. in a 350 oven until it is golden brown.
  5. While fish is cooking cut mango into small pieces and chop mint fine.
  6. Toss the lime juice, mango, mint, coconut milk, pepper, sea salt, and nutmeg in a bowl.
  7. When encrusted fillets are done baking, spoon a few tbsp of chutney over fish while on a plate.
Notes
I like to use a mild fish so that I can taste the flavors of the encrusted topping. Purchase low mercury, wild caught and sustainable seafood when possible. For a nut free version pumpkin seeds work nicely.
