Delicious Macadamia Nut Recipes: Crusted Fish Fillets and Pineapple Nut Bread

Macadamia nuts are a great choice for a variety of recipes.

Why buy these nuts in the shell, you ask? Freshly dried and cracked macadamia nuts have an even creamier, more buttery flavor than the store-bought jarred ones. With a good nutcracker, a great novel and a wood fire, they could just make for the perfect winter evening.

And when it comes to cooking with them, a little extra effort can translate into a LOT of extra taste. Here are a couple great new recipes to try:

Macadamia Crusted Fish Fillets

Sarah Nussbaum

Easy, fast and so impressively good, your guests will think you have a personal chef really!

Ingredients

  • 4 tilapia or other whitefish fillets, about 6 oz each

  • 10 ounces macadamia nuts

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven’s broiler. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.

  2. Combine macadamia nuts, soy sauce, garlic, hot sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, and pepper in a food processor and blend until the mixture is the consistency of a thick paste.

  3. Spread a thick layer of mixture on top of each fish fillet. Place the fish (macadamia mixture-side up) on the prepared baking sheet. Under the broiler, cook fish until the macadamia crust is golden brown and fish flakes easily, about 10-15 minutes. (Watch fish carefully as broiler temps can differ.)
