Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Combine all the salsa ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.
Combine shredded coconut with the panko, macadamia nuts and 3/4 tsp sea salt in a shallow bowl. Combine the coconut milk and soy sauce in another shallow dish. Sprinkle fish on both sides with the remaining 1/4 tsp salt and black pepper. Dip one side of the fish into the milk mixture and then dredge the dipped side into the panko/coconut mixture.
