Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F and place oven rack in center position.
• Grease a baking sheet with cooking oil spray. Place jalapeno halves cut side down on prepared baking sheet.

• In a small saucepan, bring coconut milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes. Keep warm on low heat.
• Add breadcrumbs and nuts to a food processor, and pulse until a crumbly mixture forms. Add mixture to a shallow, wide-mouthed bowl and stir in parsley and chives.
• In a shallow bowl, beat the egg and 1 tablespoon water to make an egg wash.
• Season both sides of the fish fillets with salt and pepper.
• Dredge each fillet in egg wash, then coat completely in the breadcrumb mixture.
• Heat oil in a nonstick oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add fish to pan.
• Saute the fish until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer pan to the oven and roast for 5 minutes, until fish is cooked through, golden on the outside, and flaky on the inside. Remove from the oven.
• While the fish is cooking, peel the skins off the jalapenos. Add jalapenos to a cleaned out food processor or blender along with the reduced coconut milk, lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth.

COCONUT MACADAMIA NUT-CRUSTED HALIBUT

Steps:

• In a wide, shallow bowl, mix the coconut and crushed macadamia nuts together.
• Heat the butter and/or oil in a skillet on medium heat, spinning the pan to make sure it coats the entire base.
• Salt and pepper fish on all sides, then coat on all sides whatever you're using as your "glue" (using your fingers or a pastry brush).
• Dredge each piece of fish in the coconut mixture on all sides, pressing firmly to help the mixture stick to the fish. Place each piece of fish into your skillet. If you have any coconut mixture remaining, toss it into the pan on one side so that it's easy to remove later. Cover and let cook until you notice the coconut mixture beginning to brown on the bottom.
• Flip each piece of fish to the other side and let brown. If your fish is thick, brown the sides as well. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer reaches 145° F. You can also tell the fish is done when it begins to flake in the center. This messes up the "look" of the finished product, but sometimes I'm more worried about just getting dinner on the table than what it looks like!
• Top with more cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
