Coconut Cod w/ Mango Salsa

Cod is a reliable white flaky fish, but despite this reliability it can sometimes be a little boring.  So I wanted to find some flavors that were different than the standard fish and chips, or other common cod recipes, as cod is usually available and relatively inexpensive compared to other fish.  As I strolled the aisles of the supermarket I came across a finely shredded coconut.  Very similar looking to that of panko bread crumbs, I thought that this may have a chance to spice up the cod that I had while keeping things simple.  The resulting cod recipe is just that, some classic seafood fish flavors, (celery seed, parsley) combined with the shredded coconut to create Coconut Cod.  And to enhance the tropical flavors of the coconut I put together a simple Mango Salsa that is garnished with dill to have that same combination of tropical and classic seafood flavors.  The recipe is quick and easy, and I was amazed at how flavorful it was perhaps making it my favorite cod dish I have ever had.  Add this citrus kale quinoa dish for a super nutrient packed side.
