How to Make Baked Herb And Macadamia Crusted Fish

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Place fish fillets in the prepared baking dish and brush lightly with 1 tablespoon of macadamia oil.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup crushed macadamia nuts, 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, thyme, and chives), 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until a thick paste forms.
  4. Spread the macadamia crust evenly over the top of the fish fillets, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets; check for doneness after 10 minutes.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or crispy chips.
