Macadamia Crusted Whitefish
This recipe takes mild whitefish, like tilapia, and gives it a satisfyingly crunchy crust. A simple three-bowl dredging station ensures each fillet is coated in a mixture of panko, macadamia nuts, and lemon pepper before a quick pan-fry. The nuts toast up beautifully in the hot oil, adding a rich, buttery counterpoint to the flaky fish. It's a quick meal that feels a little special.

Prepare Dredging Stations
Set up 3 bowls for your dredging station. In the first, whisk the eggs. In the second, add the flour. In the third, combine the panko, macadamia nuts, and lemon pepper, mixing well.
Working with one fillet at a time, dip the fish first into the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the whisked egg, letting any extra drip away. Finally, press the fish into the macadamia mixture, ensuring it's thoroughly coated on both sides.
