Total Time:
35 Minutes

Ingredients:
1) 5 ounce roasted macadamia nuts; coarsely ground (about 1 1/4 cups)
2) 1/2 cup panko; (Japanese-style bread crumbs)
3) 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4) 1/4 cup butter; melted
5) Vegetable oil; for brushing
6) 4 6-8 oz mahi mahi fillets
7) Salt and pepper to taste
8) 2 tablespoons coconut milk

Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a medium bowl, stir together the nuts, panko, flour, and butter. Set aside.

2) Place a piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush it liberally with vegetable oil. Place the mahi mahi on the foil and sprinkle each fillet with salt and pepper on both sides. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush each fillet with the coconut milk. Divide the nut mixture among the tops of the 4 fillets, patting the mixture to spread and adhere to the fillets. Return to the oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

3) Remove from the oven and allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.
