Sesame Free Paleo Ginger-Scallion Coconut-Crusted Mahi-Mahi

Flaky, golden mahi-mahi wrapped in a toasted coconut crust is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more impressive than the effort it actually takes. The crust gets its bold personality from fresh ginger, sliced scallion greens, a splash of coconut aminos, and a pinch of red pepper flakes — layers of flavor that come together in minutes before the fish ever hits the pan. Coconut aminos steps in as the savory, umami-rich backbone here, which means you get all the depth you'd want without any soy or sesame sneaking into the mix. That's a genuine win for anyone navigating sauces and marinades that almost always hide sesame oil or tahini somewhere in the label. The coconut oil in the skillet helps the crust turn a deep, even gold while keeping everything grain-free and clean. A squeeze of fresh lime and a scatter of cilantro at the end brighten the whole plate and balance the richness of the coconut. It's a dish that looks like it came out of a coastal restaurant kitchen and tastes every bit as good as it looks.
