Method

Cook the brown rice in chicken stock according to package instructions. Stir in shredded coconut and set aside.
In a bowl, combine diced mango, chili, cilantro, sweet chili sauce, and a splash of soy sauce. Mix well and set aside.
Season halibut fillets with soy sauce. Roll each fillet in panko breadcrumbs.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear halibut fillets for about 1 minute on each side.
Transfer the skillet to a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven and bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
In a separate pan, sauté zucchini discs in a bit of oil until slightly browned.
Prepare the salad by combining julienned carrot, chopped lettuce, and sesame vinaigrette. Toss to coat.
Assemble the dish by placing the halibut on a plate, topping with zucchini discs, mango salsa, and the carrot-lettuce salad. Serve with coconut brown rice on the side.
Finish with 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest and 1 tsp finely chopped fresh dill just before serving.
