I couldn't find any Mahi Mahi nor Tilapia so I used Halibut. Came out the same though the halibut was probably a bit stronger in taste than the others. Great recipe and easy prep. My chef skills are growing. lol. Now I got 4 recipes I can make. Here's a hint to those who may not know (cause I didn't with this recipe you'll probably have ALOT of leftover coconut milk. FREEZE IT. I poured it into an icecube tray and froze them over night, then popped them out and placed in a ziplock bag. Now I have cubesized milk ready to use and don't have to thaw out the whole thing just to get a scoop or two.

I am always looking for ways to eat more fish that don't involve frying. I used pecans instead of macadamia nuts because that's what I had on hand. I was delicious. I did have to back mine just a little more because it was a pretty think piece of fish. I do think a little acid would have made it even better. I was half way through it when I thought about that squeeze of lemon so you know it was delicious already.

This was absolutely the best fish I've ever had. And, as a bonus, it was super easy. Our fillets were pretty big and I cooked it an extra minute before putting the nut topping on, but other than that I followed the recipe exactly. It came out perfectly. Took me 30 minutes, tops.

A definite keeper. Thanks, Alton, for never steering us wrong.

Here goes my version - Dipped fish in lemon juice, salt and pepper on both sides. Baked on non-stick skillet for 5 minutes as directed, turned once. Brushed with Sour cream. Finely chopped fancy nuts (no peanuts and put in skillet with butter stirring constantly until light brown. Pressed down on top of fish. Baked and let sit as directed. This was fabulous!! Let me know if you try and enjoy!

To give the fish more flavor and to take away some of the fishy smell, we soaked the Mahi Mahi in the coconut milk, baked it for five minutes, then continued to follow the recipe. We did end up finding the Panko bread crumbs after eye-balling the ethnic food section in the grocery store (where shopping is a pleasure. The crust was the right texture, however we did substitute the macadamia nuts for walnuts.
We thought the perfect pairing was an angel hair pasta with a white wine/lemon/butter and Italian dressing sauce. The fusion of flavors was like a party in our mouths!
Hope future readers enjoy this recipe as much as I do

My family loves this recipe. Even my picky 2 year old inhales it. I made it for my mom and aunt with some asparagus and brown rice, and it won great reviews. I really love macadamia nuts, so I didn't think it was too much nuts. We've tried it with mahi mahi, but it's also great with tilapia. It's sweet and mild, but I definitely wouldn't call it "bland."

Super easy to make and all my guests agreed it was the best fish they've ever had. I use almonds instead of macadamia nuts and a little more coconut milk than the recipe calls for. I have had no trouble using regular plain breadcrumbs instead of panko when necessary. Delicious.
