When we were on our delayed honeymoon (as we went after 4months of marriage) to Hawaii, we visited this 'Highly-Recommended' restaurant called Mama's Fish House. It is very famous for its ambiance and awesome seafood. The menu changes everyday. The day we went for lunch, they were serving Macademia crusted Salmon stuffed with crab and shrimp. Yes, I know you all must be drooling as you read this. Trust me, it was worth every penny we spent. That was the best Seafood I have ever tried. I still drool as I dream about it, so I had to atleast try the easy part of it, nut-crusted Salmon without the stuffing.
Ingredients:
Marinade:
Salmon Fillet - 1LB
Lime Juice - 2Tbspn
Salt
Outer Coating:
Pecans - 1/2 cup
Macademia nuts - 1/2 cup
Bread Crumbs - 1/2 cup
Red Chilli Powder - 1/2 tspn (I used Cajun Seasoning instead)
Egg White - 1
Olive Oil
Salt
Sauce:
Fresh Dill, Finely chopped - 2 tbspn
Yogurt - 1 cup
Sour Cream/Mayonnaise - 2tbspn
Ground Black Pepper - 1/2 tspn
Lime Juice - 2tbspn
Salt
Procedure:
- Marinate the Salmon with the marinade and keep it aside.
- Now blend together pecan, macademia nuts, bread crumbs, red chilli powder and salt and make a coarse powder.
- Whisk the egg whites till it is a little frothy and then dip the salmon in it and then coat it with the coarse nuts powder. Try pressing the powder on the salmon.
- Heat a skillet on medium heat and put some oil on it.
- Now put the salmon on the skillet and cook it till the crust is golden brown but make sure the fish is cooked from inside too (Fish is cooked when it flakes when a fork is inserted in it). Cook approximately for 7minutes on each sides.
- Sauce: Mix all ingredients for the sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the fish and serve it with rice.\
Any type of nuts can be used for this recipe. Also, this dill sauce can be used with a variety of fish dishes.
Conclusion:
We remembered our meal at Mama's Fish House as we were enjoying the Pecan and Macademia Nut-Crusted Salmon... Yummm!
