Coconut crusted fish with mango salsa

in Recipes on 03/17/17

CoconutSole_Blog

I am a big fan of coconut! Organic coconut water, coconut milk, macaroons, you name it! I especially love it when it’s used to coat a nice piece of fish. I prefer to use white-fleshed fish for such a recipe, but it can work well with salmon, too.

Before we get into the details of the recipe, let’s discuss the main ingredients – Dover sole and shredded coconut.

Also known as black sole, Dover sole is a delicate, mild flavored fish that is the most abundant flat fish on the West Coast of the US. What’s a flat fish you ask? Flat fish are bottom-feeders (like halibut and catfish) that swim along the ocean floor. They can grow to over 2 feet long and they often live as long as 58 years.

The best way to prepare Dove sole is to keep it simple. This species is broadly available in the frozen section of most markets. A 6-ounce serving of plain, baked Dover sole has approximately 26 grams of protein, 52 percent of the daily value, DV, set by the United States Food and Drug Administration based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. The same serving provides 4 grams of fat, just 0.06 percent of the DV, 146 calories and contains no carbohydrates or fiber.

Now for my beloved coconut…wait, is it actually a nut? If you ask a botanist this question, the answer would probably be no. A coconut isn’t a true nut: strictly speaking, it’s a one-seeded drupe. In more general terms, however, a coconut can be a fruit, a seed, and a nut (a nut is technically a type of fruit).

Coconut_Blog

A drupe (such as an olive, almond, or apricot) is a fruit with a central stone containing the seed and has three layers: the exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp. The coconut is the large, greenish, smooth fruit of a tropical palm tree. This visible part is the outer layer, or exocarp. When this is removed (which usually happens before coconuts reach the shops) you’ll see the next layer, which is the brown, fibrous mesocarp, or husk. This fiber isn’t edible, but is valuable in other respects: it’s used in potting compost and to make ropes, mats, sacks, etc.

Now that you are more familiar with the ingredients, let’s talk recipe.

This is a simple recipe and cooking technique is a good upscale recipe for new cooks and newlywed couples looking to spend time together in the kitchen. It’s a process that will give you experience with a few different techniques, which is great!

The recipe is straightforward.

I simply seasoned the fish with sea salt, white pepper and garlic & onion powder, then dipped it in an egg wash.

I then coated the fish in shredded coconut and let the fish settle (helping the crust form) for about 15 minutes.

Crusted Fish_BlogOnce the fish had a crust I gave it a spritz of olive oil and broiling it for about 20 minutes. This technique makes the sole nice and crispy – without frying.

Wild halibut tortilla soup. . . . After a weekend Wild halibut tortilla soup.

After a weekend of indulgence, I was in the mood for something simple today. Not to mention that I received such sweet birthday phone calls from my two chicken tortilla soup loving nieces, Briana and Courtney! With these two in mind and a bunch of halibut cheeks and bones on hand I went to work. 
.
.
.
Halibut bone broth is the base of this soup. The recipe is in the forthcoming book.

It's such a beautiful day!! I couldn't resist spending my morning at the beach. It's usually raining on my birthday, so sunshine is a real treat and is a testament to the bright and beautiful year that I've had personally.

I've been instructed by friends and colleagues to eat lots of cake (hubby will see you that), and my mom & dad gifted me a beautiful bunch of chocolate dipped fruit, to help balance out the cake 😋!

Wild halibut cheeks are on deck for supper! I bought them during my last trip to Morrow Bay from @giovannis_fish_market and have them well preserved in the freezer.

I appreciate all of your support and really enjoy our fun banter!

I took a break from clam dishes to triple test my recipe for Baja inspired seafood enchiladas for the book - crab and shrimp are featured. Most of you know that I'm crazy about Mexican food and ingredients, grew up enjoying both.
.
.
.
As I researched the dish, I learned that enchiladas have roots in royal Aztec cuisine. 
.

I cooked up a batch of black beans and made cilantro rice to boot!

This recipe wil be in the forthcoming book... something to look forward to 😋.

I planned on filming a full video recipe on geoducks but it fell off my list of priorities since I owe my editor book updates. However, I was able to get this bit in. My husband had a hard time watching this, which I found hilarious!!

To remove the shell I dropped the whole clam in boiling water for 10 seconds, then blanched it in ice water.

This is a geoduck, (pronounced "gooey-duck"), which is a clam with an oversized siphon (sometimes called the neck). The siphon and body are so large that the shell can't close tightly. It bears an unfortunate resemblance to a certain part of the male anatomy that gives some of us the giggles!
.
.
.
Geoduck can be expensive at restaurants, but it's simple enough to prepare at home. I plan to serve this as sushi for New Years Day!
.

Similar to the Pacific razor clams, the geoduck is common in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia. I found mine at a local market.

I couldn't wait to crack open my suitcase which I stuffed with a bunch of frozen seafood from local markets, mostly wild salmon and Pacific razor clams. Thanks to @alaskaair for overlooking a slight bag overage 😉.

I've been obsessed with clams lately (including geoducks) so brace yourself and prepare to be inspired over the next couple of weeks.
.
.
.
I made a batch of Pacific razor clams for Christmas Eve supper at the Lakehouse using a basic flour and egg wash. This approach gave the clams a southern "chicken fried" texture. They turned out great and got hubby's attention. He wanted more...so, I bought more!
.
.
Today I defrosted a 1lb package made up of 7 whole cleaned clams and used Panko breadcrumb + egg wash to coat them before a quick pan fry.
