Latimeria’s Macadamia Nut Mahi-Mahi
• Mix the nuts, bread crumbs, salt and pepper in a small food processor; cover and pulse until nuts are moderately to finely chopped.
• Whisk egg and water in another bowl. Also put flour and nut mixture in separate bowls. Coat fillets with flour, then dip in egg mixture and coat with nut mixture.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium to medium high heat; cook fillets for about 4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. (Pre-heat the oven to 400°F)
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce and ginger. Microwave uncovered, on high, for about 40-50 seconds or until sugar is dissolved. This will be the drizzle for over the fish at the end.
• Cut pieces of aluminum foil that you can make a “Boat” around each piece that’s being cooked. Place a filet in each “boat” and then take the remaining nut/panko crumble from the bowl and generously sprinkle on top of each piece.
• Place in oven for about 10 minutes or until the top of the new crumble mix starts to brown.
• Remove and drizzle the ginger/soy over the fish in a zig-zag pattern and serve!
