amanda

Equipment

  • - Fish Fillet Scales (To scale fish prior to filleting)

  • - Poultry Shears or Seafood Knife (For cleanly cutting through the fillets without damaging them)

  • - Non-stick Skillet (Essential for pan roasting and avoiding sticking, especially with high-fat recipes like coconut crusted fish)

  • - Fish Spatula (To flip the fish easily during cooking without tearing it apart)

  • - Digital Kitchen Scale (For precise portioning of the Mahimahi fillets and ensuring consistent cooking sizes for even roasting)

  • - Cutting Board (Mesh or Silicone) (Ideal for handling fish, reducing slipping hazards while cleaning scales)

  • - Sturdy Bowl (For mixing the crust ingredients such as coconut flakes and seasonings before applying to the fillets)

  • - Mixer with Paddle Attachment (Optional) (To ensure a consistent texture for any dredging or breading mixture, although it's not strictly necessary for this recipe)

  • - Garlic Press (Useful for quickly mincing garlic as part of various recipes and can be included if you like to add extra garlic in your cooking process)

  • - Digital Food Scale (For precise ingredient measurements, which is helpful when making specific quantities or scaling the recipe up for a larger group)

  • - Oven Thermometer (To accurately monitor oven temperature during roasting, ensuring optimal results and safety)
