Mac-Yellowtail – Fried
Crunchy Macadamia nuts form a delicious topping for these delicate fish fillets in this island-inspired dish. You can substitute fillets of red snapper or any other delicate white-fleshed fish. The absolute key to success is to use the best-quality, freshest fish you can find.
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. Yellowtail cut into 1″ strips
- 2 cups Macadamia nuts, minced in blender
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbls. milk
- ½ t. salt
- ½ t. freshly ground pepper
- ½ cup flour
- 5 Tbls. butter
- 2 Tbls. Olive oil
- 2 key limes, quartered
Pat fish fingers dry with paper towel. Combine eggs and milk and whisk. Add salt and pepper to flour and mound on a sheet of waxed paper. Place nuts in a shallow dish. Roll the fish fingers in flour.
Dip in egg mixture, then nuts and place on a cake rack to dry for at least 30 minutes.
Melt the butter and oil together in a heavy skillet over moderate heat. When butter becomes foamy, add the fish and cook 3-5 minutes on each side.
Serve at once with key lime quarters.
