Ingredients

4 4 - 6 ounce Mahi Mahi or halibut filets, skin removed
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
salt and pepper
½ cup macadamia nuts toasted and chopped fairly fine by hand or in a food processor
¼ cup panko
2 tablespoons macadamia nut oil or olive oil, or olive oil and butter mix

Instructions

Season the fish with salt and pepper; then spread the mayo on one side of the fish.
Mix together the panko and chopped macadamia nuts. Dredge the coated side of the fish in the nut/panko mixture.
In a skillet heat the oil over medium-high heat, add the fish, crusted side down; cook until browned, turn and cook the other side. About 3 - 4 minutes each side depending on how thick the fish is. The fish should just be opaque and separate easily.

Notes

LindySez: Oils turn rancid so quickly, especially the nut oils so I always keep my nut oils, or any oil I don’t use often, in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
