Coconut Crusted Cod 

Coconut Crusted Cod is absolutely delicious and pretty easy too, and ready in just over 20 minutes. Perfect for a light, summertime dinner, it is so amazingly sweet and soft with a little crunch.

Cod is a light, flakey, mild-flavored fish and the coconut is a nice variation of a typical breaded fish recipe.
