For the fish
- 4 mahi-mahi fillets (6 oz each), skin removed
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For the crust
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3 scallions, green parts only, thinly sliced

For cooking
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
For serving
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
