CASHEW CRUSTED MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the mahi filets on the parchment so they are not touching. Salt and pepper both sides.
• Place in the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
• While the mahi is cooking, combine the Coconut Butter Coating ingredients in a small bowl and stir until well combined.
• Remove mahi from the oven and turn the filets over. Spoon the coconut butter mixture evenly over the 6 mahi filets, using your fingers, if necessary, to cover the top of the fish with the coconut butter.
• Divide the chopped cashews evenly among the coconut butter coated fish, pressing them in lightly so they don't fall off.
• Place the mahi back in the oven, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of your filets. Fish should be opaque and flaky.
• Remove from oven and serve hot with a side of Peach Tomatillo Salsa.
