Ingredients
- 1(7 to 8-ounce) tuna fillet
- Salt and black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
- Pinch thyme and tarragon
- 2 tablespoons medium chopped macadamia nuts
- 1 teaspoon very finely chopped garlic
- 1 teaspoon very finely chopped shallots
Directions
Rub fish with salt and pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of the olive oil, thyme, and tarragon. Press 1 tablespoon of the chopped macadamia nuts on each side. Put garlic, shallots, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in saute pan and heat on high until oil bubbles. Carefully place fish in the pan and sear about 15 seconds on each side for rare; 30 seconds on each side for medium rare. If you prefer well done fish, start at a low heat and saute until done. This preparation can be done with mahi mahi or ono too.
Serve with your favorite starch and vegetables.

This is an excellent recipe that allows for simple flavor with an exquisite crunch. The flavors didn't overpower the taste of the fish while the macadamia nuts administered a delectable treat. I used fine sea salt and crushed black and white pepper.
