Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ahi tuna fillets (each about 7 to 8 ounces) - you can also use mahi mahi or ono
salt, for seasoning
black pepper, for seasoning
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried tarragon
1/4 c chopped macadamia nuts
1 Tbsp very finely chopped garlic
1 Tbsp very finely chopped shallots
1 large lemon, cut into 4 wedges (for garnish)

Steps:

  • 1. Season fish with salt and pepper. Rub 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and all of the thyme and tarragon on each tuna fillet. Press chopped macadamias on each side of the fillets.
  • 2. Put garlic, shallots, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in sauté pan and heat on high until oil bubbles. Carefully place fish in the pan and sear about 15 seconds on each side for rare; 30 seconds on each side for medium rare. If you prefer well done fish, start at a low heat and sauté until done.
