Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large red bell peppers, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 mango, peeled, pitted, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 papaya, peeled, seeded, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 small red onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 large eggs
3 cups macadamia nuts
6 6-ounce yellowtail or red snapper fillets
4 tablespoons olive oil

  • Combine first 10 ingredients in large bowl and stir to blend. Season salsa to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place flour in shallow bowl. Whisk eggs in small bowl to blend. Finely grind nuts in processor. Transfer nuts to another bowl. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my macadamia crust didn't come out as crispy as I would have liked.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The macadamia crust is nutty and buttery, while the mango-papaya salsa is sweet and tangy. The yellowtail is cooked perfectly and flakes apart easily.

This dish was a hit with my family! The macadamia crust was perfectly crispy and the yellowtail was cooked to perfection. The mango-papaya salsa was a great addition, adding a bit of sweetness and acidity to the dish.
