Best Coconut Tilapia With Apricot Dipping Sauce Recipes
COCONUT TILAPIA WITH APRICOT DIPPING SAUCE
I found this recipe on the internet and only made it because I thought my DH would like it (I don't care that much for coconut in my main meal, or so I thought!). It turns out we all loved it, even my kids. It came out nice and crunchy and the sauce keeps it fresh and light tasting. I used a pre-mixed Creole spice that was frankly too salty (and I really love salt), so if I had to do it over again, I'd make my own mixture. I think any apricot dipping sauce with an Asian flair would complement this dish.

SPICY APRICOT DIPPING SAUCE
I made this up to fit the ingredients on hand. You can adjust the cayenne and red pepper flakes. I served this with coconut chicken but I am sure this would be good with chicken tenders, etc...

COCONUT TILAPIA
I created this recipe in an attempt to add some flavor to Tilapia. I enjoy eating Tilapia, but other ingredients are usually needed to make it worth eating. This recipe is fairly quick and painless. I change some of the ingredient amounts depending on my particular cravings for that specific day.

Steps:
- In a wide bowl/container, mix coconut flakes, curry powder, garlic powder, paprika (set aside).
- In a small bowl, mix 1 egg, 1/4 cup water and 1/3 cup of corn starch.
- Dip the Tilapia fillets in the egg mixture. Use a plastic bag to cover your hands when handling fillets, if preferred. Coat the fillets thoroughly with the coconut flake mixture, especially along the top, as this dramatically improves the appearance of the dish while baking.
- Bake the Tilapia fillets at 350 degrees for about 12-14 minutes (or however long until the fish is fully white). Use cooking spray or butter the pan so the fish does not stick.
- While the Tilapia is baking, make the peanut sauce. Mix all of the ingredients listed above. Vary ingredient amounts to your liking. Cool or set aside until the Tilapia is ready.
- Broil the fillets for a few minutes until golden.
- Serve the fillets on a plate and scoop the peanut sauce on the side.
