Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup macadamia nuts roughly chopped
  • 4 (6-ounce) cod filets or any firm white fish like halibut, mahi-mahi, tilapia
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
  • pink salt
  • cracked black pepper
  • fresh cilantro leaves chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
  • In a food processor, pulse the macadamia nuts until they form small crumbs. Do not over-process or you will end up with macadamia nut butter.
  • Spread the crumbs onto a plate.
  • Brush the cod fillets with melted coconut oil and press the top of each into the macadamia nut crumbs, making sure to press well so the crumbs really stick to the fish. Spoon any leftover crumbs onto the top of the fish fillets and press well.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the fillets on the baking sheet, nut side up, and bake for 7 to 9 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fish), or until the fish is white and flaky.
  • Turn your oven to high broil and cook for an additional 1 or 2 minutes, or until the nuts have turned golden brown. Watch closely nuts can burn fast!
  • Garnish with cilantro if using.
