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.
