Boulevard Inn



List of Ingredients



• ½ pound roasted and salted macadamia nuts
  
• 1½ cups flour (divided)
  
• 1 egg
  
• ¾ cup whole milk
  
• 6 mahi mahi fillets (6 to 7 ounces each)
  
• Butter (to sauté fillets)
  
• ½ cup white wine
  
• 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained (juice reserved)
  
• ½ cup whipping cream
  
• 1 cup (2 sticks) cold butter, cut into chunks
  






Instructions



1. In food processor, combine nuts and ¾ cup flour. Process until nuts are chopped medium to fine. Make egg wash by beating together egg and milk. Dust fillets with remaining flour, then dip into egg wash, then in the nut mixture.
   
   
2. Preheat oven to 350° F.
   Sauté fillets in butter top side first, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn fillets and sauté another 1 to 2 minutes to brown other side. Transfer to baking pan and finish cooking in preheated oven, 10 to 15 minutes, or until fish is done.
   
   
3. While fish cooks, make pineapple sauce:
   In medium pan, combine wine, juice from canned pineapple, and cream. Cook over low heat until mixture thickens enough to coat back of spoon, stirring constantly. This should take about 10 minutes. Whisk in cold butter and stir until melted. Add reserved pineapple, and heat through. Divide pineapple sauce among 6 plates. Put one fillet over sauce on each plate.
   
   Makes 6 servings.
