Oven-baked mahi mahi with macadamia crust being cut.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup roasted macadamia nuts roughly chopped
  • 2 fillets of mahi mahi about 5 ounces each
  • 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil melted
  • sea salt
  • cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a food processor, blitz the macadamia nuts until they form small crumbs. This will just take a few seconds; don't overprocess or you will have macadamia nut butter. Spread the crumbs onto a plate.
  • Brush the mahi mahi fillets with melted coconut oil and press the top of each into the macadamia crumbs. Make sure to press the crumbs in so they stick to the fish. Season with salt.
  • Place the fillets in the baking dish, crust side up, and bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the fish is white and flaky.
  • Turn your broiler to high and broil for 1-3 minutes, until the nuts have gone golden and toasty.
  • Garnish with cilantro and enjoy!

Tips & Notes:

I served this over some cous cous that I mixed with a bit of diced cilantro, garlic powder, salt and some pineapple juice. It was amazing!
