Coconut Cod with Mango Salsa

I love it when I find a local market with some good looking (and smelling) fresh fish.  Really fresh fish should smell like the ocean and not very fishy.  The cod I bought was nice and fresh.  I seasoned it with salt and pepper and coated it with coconut flour and simply sauteed them in coconut oil.  I sauteed them over medium heat on each side until golden brown (about 5 minutes on each side).  I rounded out the tropical feel by topping it with a mango salsa.  Our sides were pureed cauliflower and oven roasted broccoli.

1/4 cup coconut flour
2 tablespoons coconut oil

For the salsa
1 mango, peeled and diced

1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Prepare salsa, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors blend.
