1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup panko*
1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1 teaspoon minced fresh cilantro

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
*Japanese-style breadcrumbs, found in the oriental section of most supermarkets.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place mahimahi in shallow dish. Pour lime juice over. Marinate 1 hour, turning fish over occasionally.

    Step 2

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine panko and next 3 ingredients in small bowl. Mix in 2 tablespoons butter. Season generously with pepper. Pour remaining 2 tablespoons butter into shallow baking dish. Remove mahimahi from marinade and place in baking dish, turning to coat with butter. Spoon panko mixture atop fish, dividing evenly.
