Mac Nut Crust

Butter Braised Red Bliss Potato

Asparagus

Lobster Nage

Method

Mac Nut Crust

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mac Nut Crust

    In a food processor, combine macadamia nuts, panko breadcrumbs, butter, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is crumbly yet holds together. Set aside.

Prepare the Local Catch

  1. 2

    Sear the Fish

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Rub the fish fillets with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Place the fillets on a baking sheet and spread the mac nut crust evenly on top. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden.

Butter Braised Red Bliss Potato

  1. 3

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the red bliss potatoes and chicken broth. Cover and braise for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir in chopped parsley before serving.

Prepare the Asparagus

  1. 4

    Sauté Asparagus

    In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.

Butter Sauce

  1. 5

    Make the Butter Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add fresh herbs and simmer for a few minutes until fragrant. Set aside.

Lobster Nage

  1. 6

    Prepare the Lobster Nage

    In a large pot, combine lobster shells, onion, carrot, celery, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes. Strain the broth and return to the pot. Add heavy cream and salt, simmer for another 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
