1. 1Pat and dry fish fillets.
2. 2Sprinkle both sides with a pinch or two of salt and pepper. Squirt juice from 1/2 of the lemon and drizzle the coconut milk over top. Turn to ensure everything is coated well.
3. 3Let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to marinate.
4. 4Meanwhile prepare the breading by combining the almond meal, shredded coconut, salt, pepper, ginger and mint in a shallow bowl.
5. 5Cover the bottom of a large skillet with oil and bring to medium heat.
6. 6Lay fillets carefully in the skillet and cook, flipping fish halfway through cooking, until both sides are golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork. Three to five minutes per side for thin fillets, longer if they're thicker.
7. 7Transfer to a stack of paper towels to drain and cool slightly.
8. 8Serve with Tropical Sweets & Reds Mash.
