Here is a sophisticated dish, made with simple ingredients that are guaranteed to impress.

We start by sourcing fresh local cod, add a balance of flavors from ingredients such as coconut milk, coconut flakes, and sweet chili sauce, then finish it off with a touch of scallions. Because cod is a mild and tender fish, the coconut chili sauce balances it perfectly with its natural richness (the sauce is quite addicting). 😍

For Cod Fish:
  
Coconut Milk 2 tsp
Sweet Chili Sauce 2 tsp
Gluten Free Panko - Pulsed 1/4 cup

4. Dry off cod loins with paper towel. Brush "skin side" of cod loin with coconut milk mixture and then press into panko mixture. Place on parchment lined sheet pan. Spray crusted fish with sunflower oil/canola oil pan spray. This will help the coconut crust become a golden brown.
