1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup panko*
1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1 teaspoon minced fresh cilantro
1/8 teaspoon salt
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.
