Macadamia Crusted Nut Mahi Mahi Baked
You will need:
- up to 3 ounces of Macadamia nuts
- 4 ounces of bread crumbs
- 6 Mahi Mahi fish fillets
- 4 ounces of butter
- 2 ounces of diced shallot onions
- 3 ounces pineapple
- 4 ounces papaya
- 4 ounces mango (all fruits rough chopped)
- 1 ½ tablespoon of shredded coconut
- 2 seeded habanero peppers
- some salt, pepper, and sugar (to your liking)
Preparation
One of the best Mahi Mahi fish recipes is to prepare Mahi Mahi baked with nuts. First, preheat your oven to 190 degrees Celsius / 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Ground together Macadamia nuts and bread crumbs; you may use a food processor or a blender. Put the mixture on a plate, and coat the Mahi Mahi fillets.
Heat the butter in a large skillet. Fry the fish fillets until you notice the nuts are starting to turn golden brown. Remove to a baking dish.
Meanwhile, add shallot onions to the skillets. Cook until they turn translucent, then stir in chicken stock. Mix in the fruits and the habanero peppers, as well as shredded coconut. Season with salt and/or sugar and/or pepper to your taste. Simmer until the sauce is thick, then strain to remove peppers, shallots, and fruits. Keep the sauce in a pan over low heat.
Proceed to have Mahi Mahi baked for 10 minutes at a temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit/ 60 degrees Celsius. Coat lightly with the sauce.
If you want, you can grill the fish instead of frying it – Mahi Mahi grilled with Macadamia nut crust is otherworldly!
