    Macadamia Crusted Halibut Recipe

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe Pin Recipe

    This Macadamia Crusted Halibut Recipe is decadent, with roasted macadamia nuts in browned butter, poured over halibut fillets. I like to serve it with garlic mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. When the potatoes soak up the brown butter, it is heavenly. Between the price of halibut, and the richness of this dish, it is not every night fare, but it is perfect for special occasions. Like tonight, the perfect night for Macadamia Crusted Halibut with brown butter!

    Equipment

    • Shallow pan for dredging
    • Oven-proof frying pan
    • Small food processor (optional)

    Ingredients
      

    • 12 oz. Alaskan Halibut Fillets
    • ¾ cups bread crumbs panko
    • ½ cups macadamia nuts ground in food processor
    • 3 ounces salted butter
    • 1 tablespoons olive oil

    Instructions
     

    • Bring butter to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly (being careful not to let it boil over) until all of the solids caramelize and the butter starts to turn a light brown color.
    • Turn off heat and stir occasionally until room temperature. Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees.
    • Toast bread crumbs and macadamia nuts in oven until golden brown.
    • Cool, then in a food processor or by hand, chop the macadamia nuts. Leave some larger chunks.
    • Add the half with the larger chunks to the brown butter.
    • Combine the smaller chunks of macadamia nuts with the toasted bread crumbs.
    • Turn the oven up to 350 degrees.
    • Brush both sides of the fish with a little olive oil to allow the breading to stick.
    • Dredge the halibut in the bread crumb mixture and sauté in two tablespoons of oil, two fillets at a time.
    • When golden brown on one side, flip and finish in the oven for approximately 5 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets.
    • When the halibut is cooked, ladle brown butter mixture over the fish and serve. (Make sure to stir the butter mixture first).

    I am Mary, the blogger behind "Oh That's Good!" I am a former nurse, former hobby farm blogger, former vintage shop owner, and current food blogger. I live with my husband and our little mutt Tucker in a lovely retirement community. I am cooking for two and taking inspiration from old cookbooks, magazines, and memories of watching my mother and grandmother cook. I like reducing my food waste and exorbitant grocery bills! I am busy rewriting my recipes for two servings with the option of adjusting the recipe up to four or six servings with just one click.
