Crispy Coconut-Crusted Baked Salmon
Ingredients
  • 4 (4 ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs, available in the Asian food aisle), or substitute dry bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup flaked sweetened coconut
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • Cooking spray
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit, or 220 degrees Celsius.
2
Arrange the salmon fillets on a baking pan that is coated with a non-stick layer, and brush them with the juice that comes from the fish.
3
In a small container, mix together panko breadcrumbs, shredded coconut, salt, and pepper to create a crunchy coating. Dip each salmon fillet into the mixture, making sure they are fully coated, and then place them back on the baking pan. Any excess crumbs can be sprinkled evenly over the top of each fillet, followed by a light coating of cooking spray.
4
Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. If you want a golden brown crust, place the salmon under the broiler for an additional time.
