By ckovak

From Jeannine (Chef Travis Smith's collection)

Ingredients

• 4 each 6 ounces Halibut Filets
• 1 1/2 cups Buttermilk
• 3 cups Chopped Macadamia Nuts (in food processor)
• 2 cups Panko Bread Crumbs
• 1 TBLS Kosher Salt, and white or black Pepper
• Oil and Butter for Frying

Preparation

Step 1

BATTER FISH

Place Halibut in small bowl with buttermilk to coat entire surface of filet.

Larger bowl, combine the processed nuts and bread crumbs, salt, pepper.

Take one filet at a time from buttermilk (drain off excess), dip into nut/crumbs, coating on all sides. Set aside until all filets are coated.

Fry breaded filets in pan or griddle, over medium-low heat melt 2 oz. of oil and 2 Tbls Butter, place filet in pan for approx. 3 -4 minutes on each side until cooked.

Save extra breading in freezer for next time; mark it for 'fish only'. Freezing prevents from spoiling.
