Coconut-Crusted Mahimahi with Pan-Roasted Garlic, Rosemary, and Tomato Sauce

This vibrant coconut-crusted mahimahi offers a sophisticated twist on a high-protein dinner. The mild, firm texture of the fish is perfectly complemented by a crisp, tropical coconut coating, while the pan-roasted garlic and rosemary sauce adds a fragrant depth. The addition of fresh tomatoes and a hint of rice wine vinegar provides a bright, acidic lift that cuts through the richness of the coconut, resulting in a beautifully balanced savoury dish.

Ideal for a quick weeknight meal or a healthy weekend lunch, this recipe is packed with lean protein and heart-healthy fats. The method of starting the fish in a frying pan and finishing it in a hot oven ensures the crust remains light and golden without overcooking the delicate flesh. Serve it alongside some steamed greens or a light quinoa salad for a complete, nutritious meal.

Coat and cook fish: Preheat oven to 232°C with rack in middle.

Put flour, egg, and coconut in separate shallow bowls. Dredge curved side of each fillet in flour, shaking off excess, then dip floured side in egg and then in coconut. (Discard marinade.)

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in an ovenproof heavy medium skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Cook fish, coated side down, until coconut is pale golden, 30 to 60 seconds. Carefully turn fish over and transfer skillet to oven. Roast until fish is just cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes. Serve fish with sauce.◊
