Tips:
- To ensure the fish cooks evenly, make sure the fillets are of uniform thickness. If necessary, use a sharp knife to trim the edges of the fillets.
- To prevent the macadamia crust from burning, keep a close eye on the fish while it is cooking. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, reduce the heat or move the fish to a cooler part of the oven.
- For a crispy crust, make sure the fish is completely coated in the macadamia mixture before baking. You can use your hands to press the mixture into the fish or place the fish in a shallow dish and pour the mixture over it.
- Serve the fish immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that it is at its best flavor and texture.

The macadamia crust adds a nutty flavor and a crispy texture to the fish, while the lemon-butter sauce provides a rich and flavorful complement.
