Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce fish fillets, approximately 1/2-inch thick
- 2 eggs
- 4 6-ounce fish fillets, approximately 1/2-inch thick
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup macadamia nuts, crushed
- 1/4 cup plain white bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chives, minced
- 1 teaspoon basil, chopped
Preparation
Baking Directions:
Season both sides of the fish fillets with the sea or kosher salt, and fresh-ground pepper.
In a bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip the flesh side of each fillet into the egg mixture — not the skin side.
Firmly press the flesh side of each filet into the crust mixture, until evenly crusted.
In a large pan, add about 1/4 inch of olive oil and heat to medium-hot.
Saute the fillets, crust side down, until they are golden brown and the crust is firmly set, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
Turn and saute the skin side for approximately 1 minute.
Remove the filets from the pan, pat off any excess oil.
Place on a baking sheet and bake in an oven pre-heated to 350 degrees, for 3-4 minutes, until fish is just cooked through.
Serve with papaya salsa or your favorite sauce.
