Fish

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mahi Mahi

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the Mahi Mahi fillets with salt and black pepper. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, combine chopped macadamia nuts and panko breadcrumbs. Dip each fillet in the egg, then coat with the macadamia mixture.

  2. 2

    Bake the Fish

    Place the coated Mahi Mahi fillets on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.

Sauce

  1. 3

    Make Lemon Beurre Blanc

    In a saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until translucent. Pour in white wine and lemon juice; reduce until almost evaporated. Gradually whisk in remaining butter until emulsified. Keep warm.

Risotto

  1. 4

    Prepare Parmesan Risotto

    In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until soft. Add Arborio rice and stir for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until absorbed before adding more. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese once the rice is creamy and al dente.

Vegetables

  1. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chef's choice vegetables, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté until tender and bright in color.

Plating

  1. 6

    Serve

    On a plate, serve a portion of parmesan risotto, topped with a piece of macadamia crusted Mahi Mahi. Drizzle lemon beurre blanc over the fish and serve sautéed vegetables on the side.
