Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup mango, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and minced
2 limes, juiced
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
salt
black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup fresh basil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons sriracha sauce (Thai Garlic Chili Sauce)
36 ounces red snapper fillets
salt
black pepper, freshly ground
canola oil, for sauteing

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine the mango, wine, sugar, ginger, and lime juice and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, until thick and syrupy. Add the cream, mix well, and remove from the heat. Pour into a blender and blend until smooth (or use an immersion blender). Return to the saucepan and simmer over low heat for 8 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly. Add the butter, a piece at a time, and stir until incorporated before adding the next piece. Be careful not to boil the sauce, or it will separate. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Place the nuts, panko and basil in a food processor and process until fine. Spread on a plate. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Sriracha (chile paste) and mix well. Lightly season the fish with salt and pepper. Evenly spread a light coat of the chile mayonnaise on one side of each fish fillet. Coat the same side evenly with the nut coating.
  • In an ovenproof saute pan or skillet, pour in just enough oil to coat the bottom and heat over medium heat. (Be careful not to heat the pan too hot or the macadamia nuts will burn). Add the fish, crust side down, and saute for 3 minutes, until golden brown. Turn the fish and place in the oven for 5 minutes, until cooked through and firm to the touch.
  • Place the fillets on warmed individual places. Serve with the mango-lime butter.

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Dredge it in the nuts to crust it evenly on both sides, and transfer to the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining fillets, butter mixture, and nuts.
  • Bake the fish fillets until they are cooked through and the nut crust is golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Spoon the Maui Onion Relish onto 4 serving plates and, with a spatula, transfer a fillet to each plate, placing it on top of the relish. Serve immediately.
  • Prepare the Ginger Butter by putting all the ingredients in a food processor with the metal blade and processing until smooth. Set aside at room temperature.;

2 large red bell peppers, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 mango, peeled, pitted, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 papaya, peeled, seeded, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 large eggs
3 cups macadamia nuts
6 6-ounce yellowtail or red snapper fillets
4 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine first 10 ingredients in large bowl and stir to blend. Season salsa to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place flour in shallow bowl. Whisk eggs in small bowl to blend. Finely grind nuts in processor. Transfer nuts to another bowl. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Coat fish with flour. Dip fish into eggs, then macadamia nuts, coating completely. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in each of 2 heavy large skillets over medium heat. Place 3 fillets in each skillet; cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer fillets to large baking sheet.
  • Bake fish until just opaque in center, about 7 minutes. Divide salsa among 6 plates. Top with fish and serve.

Tips:

  • For the freshest red snapper, look for fish with bright red eyes, firm flesh, and a mild, briny smell.
  • If you can't find macadamia nuts, you can substitute another type of nut, such as almonds or pecans.
  • Be careful not to overcook the fish. Red snapper is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the red snapper immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Red snapper with macadamia nut crust is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The fish is cooked to perfection and the macadamia nut crust adds a delicious crunch. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
