Here’s a recipe for Macadamia Crusted Halibut with Fresh Herbs and Coconut Sauce:Ingredients:

For the Macadamia Crust:

• 1 cup macadamia nuts, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Halibut:

• 4 halibut fillets (6-8 ounces each)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Coconut Sauce:

• 1 cup coconut milk
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped macadamia nuts, breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
3. Season the halibut fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Coat each halibut fillet with the macadamia mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crust to the fish.
6. Place the coated halibut fillets in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until the crust is golden brown.
7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
8. While the halibut is baking, prepare the coconut sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, and honey. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
9. Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
10. Season the coconut sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
11. Once the halibut is done baking, remove it from the oven and serve hot with the coconut sauce drizzled over the top.
12. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve with your favorite side dishes.
