Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 ounces macadamia nuts
• 4 ounces plain bread crumbs
• 6 (6 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
• 4 ounces butter
• 2 ounces shallots, diced
• 4 cups chicken stock
• 4 ounces pineapple, rough chopped
• 4 ounces papaya, rough chopped
• 4 ounces mango, rough chopped
• 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
• 2 habanero peppers, seeded
• salt and pepper to taste
• white sugar to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a food processor or blender, combine macadamia nuts and breadcrumbs and pulse until finely ground. Transfer the nut mixture to a plate, and thoroughly coat the fish fillets on both sides.
3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the coated fillets on both sides until the macadamia crust is golden brown. Transfer the fillets to a baking pan.
4. Add shallots to the skillet and cook until translucent. Stir in chicken stock, followed by pineapple, papaya, mango, coconut, and habanero peppers. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar according to your taste. Simmer until the sauce thickens, approximately 30 minutes. Strain the sauce to remove the peppers, fruit, and shallots. Keep the strained sauce warm in a pan over low heat.
5. Bake the macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F. Remove the fish and lightly coat with the reserved tropical fruit sauce before serving.
