How To Make macadamia nut crusted mahi-mahi
-
Step 1Firmly press the flesh side of each filet into the crust mixture, until evenly crusted.
-
Step 2Season both sides of the fish fillets with the sea or kosher salt, and fresh-ground pepper.
-
Step 3In a bowl, beat the eggs. Dip the flesh side of each fillet into the egg mixture — not the skin side.
-
Step 4In a large pan, add about 1/4 inch of olive oil and heat to medium-hot.
-
Step 5Saute the fillets, crust side down, until they are golden brown and the crust is firmly set, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and saute the skin side for approximately 1 minute.
-
Step 6Remove the fillets from the pan, pat off any excess oil. Place on a baking sheet and bake in oven for 3-4 minutes, until fish is just cooked through.
-
Step 7Serve with papaya salsa or your favorite sauce.
