Coconut Tilapia

This was delicious and easy to make (although the process did leave a lot of dishes in its wake)

Coconut Tilapia

Ingredients
1 cup flaked coconut
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 (4 ounce) carton egg substitute or 2 egg whites
1/2 cup canola oil

Apricot Dipping Sauce
1/2 cup apricot jam
2 teaspoons brown mustard
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish

Directions

1. Toss together the coconut, flour and cajun seasoning in a bowl. In a separate bowl, toss the tilapia with the cornstarch, and shake off the excess. Pour the egg substitute or egg whites into a separate bowl, and dip the fillets in the egg. Press fillets in the coconut mixture coating all sides.

2. Heat canola oil in a frying pan to a temperature of about 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry fillets one or two at a time on both sides until golden brown. Remove to drain on a paper towel. Prepare the apricot dipping sauce by stirring together the jam, mustard, and horseradish in a small bowl. Serve the tilapia accompanied by the dipping sauce.
