As we embark upon the fantastic foods of fall, I should let you know that our family continues to learn more and more everyday about the best ways to achieve nourishment.  As we do so, we find ourselves moving closer and closer to more of a "paleo" way of eating.  Again, some may be familiar with the term "paleo" others not so much.  The Paleo movement is, in my opinion, an excellent step in the direction of nourishment.  However, there are a few holes in the logic and so if you're a "die-hard paleo person" you may find some of my foods to be questionable.  

But enough about that.  Let's get on with the point of this post, and that is to share a quick, delicious, weeknight recipe.  I try to serve my family fish at least once a week.  This week, I had lots of wild caught cod fillets in my freezer and was anxious to try something a little different with them.  My children are NOT fans of fish, so whenever they hear we're having fish for dinner, they generally cringe.  However, after this meal, I heard comments like "It's actually not bad" and "Can I have another piece?"  Music to my ears!

So here's the recipe:

8-10 cod fillets (wild caught)
coconut oil
1 egg (mix with a bit of water and beat)
1-2 shredded unsweetened coconut (maybe more if you need)

Melt 1-2 T coconut oil in large skillet over medium high.  Dredge each fillet in egg, then in shredded/grated coconut, then fry about 3 min. per side or until coconut is lightly browned and fish is slightly flaky.  Fry in batches and keep warm in oven.  Enjoy!
