MACADAMIA NUT CRUSTED MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a medium bowl, stir together the nuts, panko, flour, and butter. Set aside.
• Place a piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush it liberally with vegetable oil. Place the mahi mahi on the foil and sprinkle each fillet with salt and pepper on both sides. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush each fillet with the coconut milk. Divide the nut mixture among the tops of the 4 fillets, patting the mixture to spread and adhere to the fillets. Return to the oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.

SEARED TOASTED MACADAMIA NUT MAHI CITRUS AKA-MISO SAUCE

Steps:

• Season each fillet with salt and pepper. Mix the toasted macadamia nut into soft butter, add in panko, salt and pepper. Spread top of fish with the crust and sear quickly in 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a hot saute pan on both sides.
• For the sauce: Reduce wine by a third. Add cream and reduce by another third. Over low heat stir in miso paste, then slowly add in butter incorporating each cube. Be careful not to heat the sauce to high, sauce will break. Finish seasoning with lime juice, salt and pepper. Be careful with the salt because the miso paste is salty too.
• Serve the mahi mahi topped with some sauce.
