    Toasted Coconut Fish Tacos Recipe - Home Chef (2)

    Think of fish and coconuts together and you can almost smell the sun-tan lotion, and feel the hot grains of sand tickling your feet as you bound towards the cool relief of the surf. These tacos can't magically transport you to tantalizing tropics, but they can morph dinner into something magical. And it's not only the fish and coconuts; the heat-and-sweet jalapeño and pineapple slaw deserves a sandy shout-out of its own. Tip: Easiest way to remove jalapeño stems and seeds: remove ends, then hold upright. Carefully slice the pepper into four pieces, leaving stem and seed to discard.

    • Chicken 165° F |
    • Ground Beef 160° F |
    • Ground Turkey 165° F |

      Heat Oil and Make Batter

      While oil heats, stir tempura mix, 1/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl until batter forms, like the consistency of a thin pancake batter. If too thick, add additional cold water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.Add tilapia to batter and combine gently until fully coated.

      Fry the Fish

      Line a plate with a paper towel. Test oil temperature by adding a pinch of tempura batter to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.

      Working in batches if necessary, add tilapia to hot oil and fry until fish is golden all over and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-4 minutes per side, flipping fish gently.Gently transfer to towel-lined plate. Season with remaining seasoned salt (to taste).
