Coconut-Crusted Mahimahi with Pan-Roasted Garlic, Rosemary, and Tomato Sauce
In this simple, fresh-tasting dish, a crisp coconut coating keeps the fish moist and gives it real island flair. Chef Roxanne Russell grates and dries her own fresh coconut to get long, beautiful strands, but any grated dried coconut will do.
