Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups macadamia nuts
  • 6 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • White Chocolate Beurre Blanc, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place flour in shallow bowl. Whisk eggs in small bowl to blend. Finely grind nuts in processor. Transfer nuts to another bowl. Season fish with salt and pepper. Coat fish with flour. Dip fish into eggs, then macadamia nuts, coating completely. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in each of 2 heavy large skillets over medium heat. Place 3 fillets in each skillet; cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer fillets to large baking sheet. Bake fish until just opaque in center, about 7 minutes. Top with White Chocolate Beurre Blanc and serve.

White Chocolate Beurre Blanc:

Cook shallots in olive oil in a heavy saucepan over medium high heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes, adding garlic in the last minute. Deglaze with wine and reduce by half. Add cream and coconut milk and reduce by half once more. Remove sauce from heat and mount with white chocolate until sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper

    Loved IT!!
    My huspand dint think it sounded good so didnt want me to make it. But he said it was the best thing I ever made!!! The white chocolate was not overpowering at all. A savory sauce.
    Dont forget the butter at the very end of the sauce I added 3 tablespoons. It was ommitted in the recipe. the second time i made it i was in a hurry so I just baked it in ciconut milk and added the topping the last 5 min under the broiler!

    I absolutely love this recipe. Kelsey Nixon should have won food network star. She is awesome, Food Network is missing out on a star.

    I have tried this dish at Red Lobster. I really enjoy the flavors. Since it was a Food Network contest recipe, I went home and found in this website. I made couple of times for friends and family. They loved and want much more.
