Coconut Tilapia with Apricot Dipping Sauce
Source: AllRecipes.com-Submitted by: Blondee (Entered by Michael Wilmshurst)“Tilapia is coated with a spicy coconut mixture and served with an apricot dipping sauce, delicious and easy! After having coconut shrimp at a famous restaurant here in Phoenix, I decided to recreate it at home using a mild white fish filet and tilapia was my first choice. Sit back and enjoy the compliments.”
