SALMON WITH A MACADAMIA NUT CRUST
This was made with Atlantic Salmon but I'm sure any kind salmon will do. Easy enough to make and serve over brown rice. To get the nut coating to be nice and crispy take the suggestion from mikekey and chop the nuts very fine also make sure the egg white is nice and frothy. Once you put the fish in the pan do not peek by lifting the fish up until it is nicely brown and crispy. Another suggestion, macadamia nuts are delicious but pricey so tonight I made this using wild Pacific salmon and finely chopped walnuts and it was good also.

Tips:
- Use fresh salmon fillets: Fresh salmon fillets will give you the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh salmon, you can use frozen salmon fillets, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- Choose the right nuts: Macadamia nuts are a classic choice for a salmon crust, but you can also use other nuts, such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts. Just be sure to use nuts that are unsalted and unroasted.
- Make sure the nuts are finely chopped: Finely chopped nuts will adhere to the salmon better than large chunks. You can chop the nuts by hand or in a food processor.
- Press the nuts into the salmon: Once the nuts are chopped, press them into the salmon fillets. You can use your hands or a spoon to do this.
- Cook the salmon properly: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it properly. The best way to cook salmon with a macadamia nut crust is to bake it in the oven. Bake the salmon at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Salmon with a macadamia nut crust is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the macadamia nut crust adds a delicious crunch and flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
