Ingredients

Mango-Lime Butter:

  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh mango
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup macadamia nuts, whole or pieces
  • 2 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil
  • 1/2 cup good-quality mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha (Thai garlic-chile paste)
  • 6 (6-ounce) ono fillets
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Canola oil, for sauteing

Directions

To prepare the mango-lime butter, in a saucepan, combine the mango, wine, sugar, ginger, and lime juice and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, until thick and syrupy. Add the cream, mix well, and remove from the heat. Pour into a blender and blend until smooth. Return to the saucepan and simmer over low heat for 8 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly. Add the butter, a piece at a time, and stir until incorporated before adding the next piece. Be careful not to boil the sauce, or it will separate. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

To prepare the coating, place the nuts, panko, and basil in a food processor and process until fine. Spread on a plate. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and chile paste and mix well. Lightly season the fish with salt and pepper. Evenly spread a light coat of the chile mayonnaise on one side of each fish fillet. Coat the same side evenly with the coating.

In an ovenproof saute pan or skillet, pour in just enough oil to coat the bottom and heat over medium heat. (Be careful not to heat the pan too hot or the macadamia nuts will burn.) Add the fish, crust stide down, and saute for 3 minutes, until golden brown. Turn the fish and place in the oven for 5 minutes, until cooked through and firm to the touch.

Place the fillets on warmed individual places. Serve with the mango-lime butter.

    Absolutely delicious! Was looking for an Ono recipe & found this. Macadamia nuts were very expensive, so I used the almonds I had. Also cut the butter in half! Sauce was a little thick probably because of this, but it was still delicious! Can't wait to serve it to guests!

    This was very yummy. I was kinda surprised at the combo of the nuts, crumbs and basil, but the combo was fantastic. The crunchiness of the crust paired with the mango sauce was a great balance. As for the sauce, it is very decadent and sweet but has a savory aspect. This will be a recipe we will use regularly.

    I was searching for sauce and salsa recipes to use for the hundreds of mangoes that dropped from the tree. So even though the whole thing sounds great, I only made the sauce itself, minus the butter, salt and pepper, and 1 lime was enough....can't even express how perfect it was. It preserves very well in the refrigerator. It was fresh after at least 2.5 weeks or more before I used it up, and it maintains a nice thick consistency. I use it on pork and chicken, and would even use it on various desserts. It's amazingly good, to where I crave it. Yum, more mangoes are waiting for me in the kitchen...
