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).
