Fish

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the Hawaiian whitefish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Lobster Essence

    In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add lobster stock and simmer until slightly reduced, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix the Crust

    In a mixing bowl, combine chopped macadamia nuts, panko breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Crust the Fish

    Place the whitefish fillets on a greased baking sheet. Spoon the lobster essence over each fillet. Press the macadamia mixture onto the top of each fillet to form a crust.

  2. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve with fresh lemon wedges and garnish with microgreens or fresh herbs.
