Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Mashed Potatoes

    In a pot, boil the cubed potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 2

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add minced garlic, heavy cream, butter, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Halibut

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season halibut fillets with salt and pepper. In a bowl, mix crushed macadamia nuts and panko breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Coat the Halibut

    Press the macadamia mixture onto the top of each halibut fillet to create a crust.

  5. 5

    Bake the Halibut

    Place the crusted halibut on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

  6. 6

    Grill the Asparagus

    Toss trimmed asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, until tender and slightly charred.

  7. 7

    Prepare the Honey Lemon Butter Cream Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Stir in honey and lemon juice, and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Plate the garlic mashed potatoes, top with the macadamia crusted halibut, drizzle with honey lemon butter cream sauce, and serve with grilled asparagus.
