For the Macadamia Nut Crust

For the Parmesan Spaetzle

For the Lobster Sauce

Method

Prepare the Macadamia Nut Crust

1

Mix the Crust

In a bowl, combine the finely chopped macadamia nuts, panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir in melted butter until the mixture is well combined.

Prepare the Fish

2

Sear the Fish

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season the local fish fillets with salt and pepper. Sear the fish for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

3

Add the Crust

Remove the skillet from heat and evenly spread the macadamia nut crust over the top of each fish fillet.

4

Bake

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden.

Prepare the Parmesan Spaetzle

5

Make the Spaetzle Batter

In a bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, and salt until smooth. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese.

6

Cook the Spaetzle

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a spaetzle maker or a colander with large holes, press the batter into the boiling water. Cook until the spaetzle float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Prepare the Lobster Sauce

7

Sauté Aromatics

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced shallots and garlic, sautéing until translucent.

8

Add Lobster and Cream

Stir in chopped lobster meat, heavy cream, white wine, and lemon juice. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

9

Plate the Dish

Place a serving of Parmesan spaetzle on each plate, top with the macadamia nut crusted fish fillet, and drizzle the lobster sauce over the top.
