Macadamia Nut Crusted Ahi Recipe

Macadamia Nut Crusted Ahi Recipe

  • 1 pound yellowfin tuna fillets
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons grated gingerroot
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking dish large enough for the fillets without them being crowded.
  2. Finely chop the macadamia nuts in a food processor. Pour onto a plate.
  3. Melt the butter with the ginger in the microwave for a few seconds. Generously brush the fillets with the ginger butter on both sides. Press each fillet onto the chopped nuts on both sides. Place in the baking dish and bake for 10 minutes per inch of thickness. The nuts should be a golden brown but do not let it burn. Serve immediately.
