Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ounces macadamia nuts
4 ounces plain bread crumbs
6 (6 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
4 ounces butter
2 ounces shallots, diced
4 cups chicken stock
4 ounces pineapple, rough chopped
4 ounces papaya, rough chopped
4 ounces mango, rough chopped
1 tablespoon shredded coconut
2 habanero peppers, seeded
salt and pepper to taste
white sugar to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • In a food processor or blender, pulse together macadamia nuts and breadcrumbs until finely ground. Pour nut mixture onto a plate, and coat fish fillets on both sides.
  • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry fillets on both sides until nuts are golden brown. Remove to a baking pan.
  • Add shallots to skillet, and cook until translucent. Stir in chicken stock. Mix in pineapple, papaya, mango, coconut, and habanero peppers. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar to taste. Simmer until sauce is thick, about 30 minutes. Strain to remove peppers, fruit, and shallots. Reserve sauce in a pan over low heat.
  • Bake mahi mahi in preheated oven about 10 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F. Remove fish, and lightly coat with sauce.

I would love to try this recipe, but I'm allergic to macadamia nuts. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute?

I'm not a fan of macadamia nuts, so I used crushed almonds instead. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fish came out soggy. I think I might have used too much butter.

I made this for dinner last night and my husband raved about it. He said it was the best fish he's ever had.

The macadamia nut crust was a nice touch, but I thought the fish was a bit bland. I would add some more seasoning next time.

I thought the macadamia nut crust was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would probably use a different type of nut next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the fish came out dry. I think I needed to cook it for less time.

I'm not a big fish fan, but I loved this recipe. The macadamia nut crust added a nice crunch and flavor to the fish. I will definitely be making this again.

This macadamia nut-crusted mahi-mahi was a hit with my family! The fish was flaky and flavorful, and the crust was crispy and nutty. I served it with a lemon-butter sauce and roasted vegetables, and it was a perfect meal.
