Method

Fish Preparation

1

Prepare the Halibut

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and place them in a baking dish.

2

Season the Fish

Drizzle the olive oil over the halibut fillets. Season both sides of the fish with salt and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Crunch Topping

3

Make the Crunch Mixture

In a medium bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, chopped macadamia nuts, and grated coconut. Mix well to combine.

4

Add Wet Ingredients

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and lime juice. Pour this mixture over the dry crunch mixture and stir until the dry ingredients are well coated.

5

Top the Halibut

Evenly distribute the crunch topping over the seasoned halibut fillets, pressing down gently to adhere.

Baking

6

Bake the Fish

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.

Garnish and Serve

Add Garnish

Once cooked, remove the halibut from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
