Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 6-oz mahi-mahi fillets (skin off)
  • 3 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp white pepper
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs plus 2 Tbsp cold water
  • 2/3 cup toasted shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 oz Mexican beef broth
  • 4 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 8 Tbsp cold butter
  • Fresh cilantro leaves or cilantro microgreens for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the mahi-mahi fillets with kosher salt, white pepper, and ground coriander.
  2. Set up a breading station: flour in one bowl, whisked eggs and cold water in another, and toasted coconut mixed with panko breadcrumbs in a third.
  3. Coat each fillet first in flour, then egg wash, and finally in the coconut-panko mix.
  4. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt unsalted butter and fry the coated fillets until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  5. In another saucepan, melt more unsalted butter over medium heat; add beef broth and pineapple juice, simmering until combined.
  6. Whisk in cold butter until smooth to finish the sauce.
  7. Serve the mahi-mahi drizzled with sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro.
