Ingredients

  • 1 10 OZ mahi mahi fillet (1" thick), halved crosswise
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts
  • 1 tsp minced fresh cilantro
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375F.

Place mahi mahi in a shallow dish. Pour lime juice over. Marinate fish for 1 hour, turning occasionally.

In a food processor, 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 sprayed with Pam.

Bake mahimahi in preheated oven for about 10 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 140F. Remove fish and serve.
