Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi

By LizY-2

Ingredients

• 5 ounces (about 1 1/4 cups) coarsely ground, roasted macadamia nuts
• 1/2 cup panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• Vegetable oil, for brushing foil
• 4 (6 to 8-ounce) mahi mahi fillets
• Kosher salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons coconut milk

Preparation

Step 1

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.
