2scallions, white part only, diced (dice green parts for garnish)
1 tablespoonlemon zest
1 teaspoonsea salt
¼ teaspoonblack pepper
½ cupmacadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400℉. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make compound butter by combining softened butter with finely diced whites of 2 scallions, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
Lay fish fillets on the sheet pan covered in parchment paper. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the scallion lemon butter
across the top of each fish fillet. Cover each fillet with 2
tablespoons of the ground macadamia nuts, pressing to ensure they stick
to the top of the fish.
Transfer baking tray to the oven and bake
fillets for 10-12 minutes (Cooking time will vary based on the thickness
of your fillet). After about 8 minutes, switch your oven to broil and
watch the fish closely as the macadamia nuts brown - it usually takes
about 3 minutes. Once the internal temperature of the fish has reached
145℉ and the nuts are golden brown, remove from oven.
Garnish with green scallions and serve with lemon wedges for an extra squeeze of lemon juice.
