Macadamia Encrusted Halibut

In my recipe I call for macadamia nuts, but you can use pine nuts, also you can make this macadamia version with shredded coconut instead of Parmesan cheese.





I recommend fresh halibut for this recipe.
  • 1/4 6-oz. Halibut fillets 4
  • 1 Tbsp. Grapeseed or Olive Oil
  • 4 Tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 cup Macadamia Nuts, coarsely chopped
  • Salt to Taste
  • Squeeze of Lemon
Directions:
  1. Rinse and pat dry the fillets on both sides. 
  2. You can either bake the fish in a preheat 425 Âșoven for 10-15 minutes, or you can add a splash of oil to a non-stick skillet to cook at medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes a side, depending on how thick the fillets. Combine the macadamia nuts, Parmesan cheese and salt. 
  3. Place the halibut fillets on a baking sheet, or cook stove top in a flat-bottomed skillet large enough cook two to four fillets at a time . 
  4. Before I pat the macadamia mixture onto the halibut fillets, I brush oil on both sides (or you can brush on egg). 
  5. Pressing the mixture lightly to make it adhere. Bake in the middle of the oven for 10-15 minutes, until the fish is opaque all the way through or cook on the stove top/ Since the crust is loosely patted onto the fish, turn gently. 
  6. When flipped to the other side, you can add any remaining crust mixture on top. 
  7. Add a thin slice of lemon and squeeze a little lemon juice and cracked pepper (optional) over all.
Serves 4
