Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 ounces (about 1 1/4 cups) coarsely ground, roasted macadamia nuts
1/2 cup panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, melted

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish. This crust is best suited for firm-textured fish that can withstand the high heat of baking, such as mahi-mahi, salmon, swordfish, or orange roughy.
  • Make sure the fish is dry. Pat the fish dry with paper towels before coating it with the macadamia nut crust. This will help the crust adhere to the fish and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a food processor to grind the macadamia nuts. This will help to create a fine, even crust that will evenly coat the fish.
  • Add some chopped fresh herbs or spices to the crust for extra flavor. Good options include parsley, thyme, rosemary, or garlic powder.
  • Bake the fish at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the fish from overcooking.
  • Serve the fish immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

This macadamia nut crust is a delicious and easy way to prepare fish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The crust is crispy and flavorful, and it pairs well with a variety of sides. Give this recipe a try and see for yourself how delicious it is!
