This is one of my "go to" recipes when time is short (which is always!), but I still want to put something delicious on the table. This sweet and crunchy fish with its tangy dipping sauce fits the bill and is guaranteed to bring a smile to your family. Along with bringing a big smile to the cook because it is so simple to prepare.
Ingredients:
1 cup FRENCH'S® French Fried Onions
1/4 cup FRENCH'S® Honey Dijon Mustard
1/2 cup flaked sweetened coconut
6 oz 4 halibut fillets, or other firm white fish (such as tilapia, snapper or cod)
1 cup coconut milk (not cream of coconut)
1 cup apricot-pineapple preserves
3 tbsp orange juice
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
Directions:
Lightly crush French Fried Onions and place in pie plate along with coconut.
Dip fish fillets into coconut milk; then coat with onion/coconut mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.
