Blackened Hawaiian Walu

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Pat the Hawaiian Walu fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub the blackening spice evenly over both sides of the fillets.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fish

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned Walu fillets. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is cooked through and has a blackened crust. Remove from skillet and let rest.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    While the fish is cooking, prepare the crispy sweet potatoes by cutting them into wedges or cubes. Toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 25-30 minutes until crispy.

  4. 4

    Make the Veggie Slaw

    In a bowl, mix the veggie slaw with chopped scallions and fresh cilantro. Drizzle with miso vinaigrette and toss to combine.

  5. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, arrange a bed of crispy sweet potatoes, top with blackened Walu fillets, and add the veggie slaw on the side. Drizzle with miso aioli and sprinkle sesame cashews on top.
