Number Of Ingredients 7

1(7 to 8-ounce) tuna fillet
Salt and black pepper
1/4 teaspoon olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
Pinch thyme and tarragon
2 tablespoons medium chopped macadamia nuts
1 teaspoon very finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon very finely chopped shallots

Steps:

  • Rub fish with salt and pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of the olive oil, thyme, and tarragon. Press 1 tablespoon of the chopped macadamia nuts on each side. Put garlic, shallots, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in saute 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 saute until done. This preparation can be done with mahi mahi or ono too.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tuna. I made it with canned tuna and it turned out great.

I'm not a fan of macadamia nuts, so I used crushed almonds instead. It was still delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tuna came out dry. I think the problem was that I used a thicker piece of tuna than the recipe called for.

This recipe is a great way to cook tuna. The macadamia crust adds a lot of flavor and the tuna stays moist and tender.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The macadamia crust is salty and crunchy, while the tuna is tender and flaky. The two go together perfectly.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used crushed Ritz crackers instead of macadamia nuts. It was still delicious, but I think the macadamia nuts would have been better.

This recipe is a keeper! The tuna was cooked perfectly and the macadamia crust was crispy and flavorful. I served it with a mango salsa and it was a hit with my guests.

I substituted panko breadcrumbs for the macadamia nuts and it was still delicious. I also added a bit of lemon zest to the crust for a brighter flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tuna came out dry. I think I may have overcooked it. Next time I will cook it for a shorter amount of time.
