Macadamia-Crusted Tilapia Fillets with Pineapple Chutney
Recipes » Main Dish » Fish and Shellfish
In anticipation of a trip to Hawaii, member Sandra M. Smith wanted to make a meal with a tropical flair. She chose fish for the main course and, in keeping with the spirit of the islands, decided to coat it with macadamia nuts instead of the traditional bread crumbs. The results were delicious and helped make the waiting a little more bearable.
"OMG!! I made this with Mahi Mahi instead of Tilapia and because I am allergic to coconut I omitted that. I added panko to the nuts to give it a little more texture. We all loved it, with and without the chutney. Oh, and I used fresh pineapple instead of canned which I think cut back on some of the sweetness of the chutney." - jlburgartYield: 2 Ready in 45 minutes
