Macadamia Nut Encrusted Mahi Mahi

4 mahi mahi fillets (6 to 8 ounce)
5 oz coarsely ground, roasted macadamia nuts (I have good luck finding that small bags at Walmart)
1/2 Cup panko (Japanese style bread crumbs)
2 Tbsp all purpose flour
1/4 Cup butter, melted
Vegetable oil, for brushing foil
 Kosher salt and pepper
2 Tbsp coconut milk

 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.

 3. 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. 

4. Serve on top Jasimine Rice with Thai Curry Sauce. See next post for the Thai Curry recipe.
