MACADAMIA CRUSTED MAHI MAHI

Alton Brown's recipe, with some minor tweaks. The coconut milk and macadamias impart a great flavor. Most types of fish would probably work, if you have a substitution in mind. This is good to make when you have a can of coconut milk open already for something else.

MACADAMIA AND COCONUT CRUSTED MAHI MAHI WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA



Macadamia and Coconut Crusted Mahi Mahi With Pineapple Salsa image

I just returned from a fabulous trip from Hawaii, and I wanted to figure out a way to make a dish that reminded me of all of the island flavors-- here is the result! Mahi Mahi is a great Hawaiian fish that is easy to find here in the States (as opposed to Opah or Ono fish which are delicious but impossible to find here...). I also wanted to try making a pineapple salsa after visiting the Dole Pineapple Plantation, and it turned out really well-- sweet and spicy! I hope you enjoy this one! Aloha!

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 whole pineapple
1/4 cup red onion, minced
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1 serrano chili, minced
1 cup cilantro leaf, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup roasted and salted macadamia nut
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons shredded coconut
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
4 mahi mahi fillets (about 6 oz each)

Steps:

  • To make the salsa, prepare the pineapple by slicing off the top and the bottom, and cutting off the sides to remove all of the skin. Cut the peeled pineapple into 4 sections lengthwise, and remove the woody core in the middle. Dice the pineapple into 1/2 inch chunks.
  • Combine the diced pineapple with the remaining salsa ingredients and set aside.
  • In a food processor, finely grind the macadamia nuts. Mix well with the breadcrumbs and coconut.
  • Heat the butter and olive oil over medium/ medium-high heat. Dip the mahi mahi fillets in the egg mixture, then coat well with the nut mixture. Fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and crispy on the outside.
  • Top with the pineapple salsa.
