Ingredients
Directions
Mix together paprika, curry powder, cumin, allspice, ginger, coriander, salt, black pepper, fennel, and cayenne pepper in a bowl; set aside.
In a bowl, lightly toss mango, pineapple, red bell pepper, black beans, red onion, and cilantro in a bowl; pour lime juice over mango mixture and toss again. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
Whisk together egg and milk in a bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, stir panko crumbs with coconut. Stir about 1 tablespoon of the spice mix, or to taste, into the panko crumb mixture.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip tilapia fillets into egg mixture, then press gently into panko crumb mixture to coat both sides of fillets. Brush off any loose crumbs, then lay fillets into the hot oil. Pan-fry until fish is opaque inside and golden brown outside, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve with mango salsa.
Tips
The spice mix can be used as desired and will keep for a while.
If you want to make this recipe with scallops, simply cook them for 2 minutes on each side. If they are overcooked, they can be a little tough.
Complete this dish with Zatarain's Caribbean rice on the side. Add 1/2 red bell pepper and 1/4 cup of fresh pineapple to the rice.
