Four Cocovie coconut products made their way into this recipe. Coconut oil is being hailed as the second coming to restore memory loss associated with Alzheimers. Even Dr. Joe Schwartz has said that 2 tablespoons a day may not be a bad idea. Coconut flour has the advantage of being gluten free. Coconut vinegar tastes similar to apple cider vinegar. Coconut sugar is reportedly a healthier form of sugar. I have no idea which of these claims is true, but I do like the taste of coconut.
Coconut Pan-fried Skate Wing with Watercress Salad
- 1 skate wing, trimmed, bone in (or your favorite firm white fish, like turbot)
- 2 T coconut flour
- 1/2 t sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 t onion powder
- 2 T coconut oil
- 1 bunch watercress, roughly chopped (or your favorite greens)
- 3 T coconut flakes, lightly toasted
- 1 T coconut vinegar
- 1/2 t coconut sugar
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil on the fish. Combine the flour, salt, pepper and onion powder in a plate. Lay the fish in the floured plate to coat. Using a hot skillet, sear the fish for 4 minutes per side in 1 tablespoon coconut oil, adding a bit more as required. Place the fish on an ovenproof dish in a preheated 380F oven for 6-8 minutes.
Deglaze the pan with 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil.
Dress the watercress with the pan drippings, vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar and some coconut flakes. Toss and surround the skate wing on a platter with the dressed watercress. Garnish the fish with coconut flakes.

Final notes:
- If skate wing is not something you care to try, any firm whitefish can be prepared the same way, cooked about 3 minutes per side.
- Serve with rosemary roasted new potatoes.
