Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a shallow dish, mix together the coconut flakes, panko breadcrumbs, and parmesan cheese.
2
In a separate dish, beat the egg and mix with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3
Dip each tilapia fillet into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly, then coat in the coconut mixture, pressing the coconut flakes onto the fish to ensure they stick.
4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Sear the coated tilapia fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
5
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
