Hawaiian Fish

4 servings

75 minutes

Hawaiian fish is the embodiment of tropical paradise flavors, combining tender fish fillet with the aroma of coconut and citrus. The dish's origins trace back to the traditions of the Hawaiian Islands, where fresh fish is a staple of the cuisine. The combination of coconut milk, pineapple, and lime creates a harmonious balance of sweetness and light acidity, enriching the texture. Orange rice adds an unexpected zest, while a salad with pineapple and coconut flesh highlights the exotic note. This dish is perfect for summer evenings when one wants to feel the ocean's breath and the freedom of island life. Fish baked in coconut milk gains juiciness and depth of flavor, while the aromatic garnish completes the picture. Simple to prepare yet exquisite in taste - a true gastronomic retreat!

Cooking steps

1. Sprinkle the fish fillet with salt and squeeze lime juice over it.

   Required ingredients:

   • Fish fillet: 2 pieces
   • Salt:  to taste

2. After drilling the coconut, we pour the milk into a glass. Then we crack the nut and remove the white flesh. We cut half of the flesh into small cubes.

   Required ingredients:

   • Coconut: 1 piece

3. Place the fish on a baking sheet, pour coconut milk over it and bake for 20-30 minutes. While the fish is baking, prepare a side dish - you can simply boil rice, but if you want something unusual, try making orange rice. In a pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté one onion (you can also add finely chopped leek and celery stalk), add 1.5 cups of water, grate orange peel, squeeze the juice of an orange, add salt (if available, a teaspoon of dried or fresh thyme works well). Bring everything to a boil and simmer on low heat for 25 minutes.

   • Fish fillet: 2 pieces
   • Coconut: 1 piece
