Ingredients
3 cups fresh basil leaves
1 cup parsley leaves
1 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 (8-ounce) Opakapaka fish fillets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat a grill. In a food processor, combine the basil, parsley, macadamia nuts, red pepper flakes, and garlic, and blend until well mixed. Once the pesto is ready, add the mayonnaise and mix well.
- Spread the pesto mayonnaise on the flesh side of each fish fillet and place, pesto-side down, on the grill. Grill for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, turn and grill until fish is just opaque and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve on top of rice or favorite salad greens.
