Panko/Coconut/Macademia Nut Crusted Tilefish

[Harry Klauber]

1. Blend equal amounts Panko, Coconut (unsweetened), and Macademia Nuts. Mixture should not be a fine powder but have some pieces in it.
2. Dust fish fillets in flour.
3. Dip dusted fillets in Buttermillk and then cover with Panko/Coconut/Macadamia mixture.
4. Lightly brown on an electric skillet then transfer to oven and bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes or until done depending on thickness of the fillets.
5. Serve with mango peach salsa topping.

Any white meat fish can be substituted for tilefish but of all the fish I have used with this recipe the tiles were the best (compared to snapper, grouper, mahi, and wahoo). enjoy. Harry

Looks yummy Harry. I have used those ingredients separately to coat fish but never combined them. Will try it out. By the way, the Italian seasoned Panko is off the hook.

Report on the Italian seasoned Panko.

Haven't had a chance to try the shaved coconut or Macadamia nut blended with Panko yet: but I did have a chance to try the Italian seasoned panko, fried style, last weekend.

Personally, I did not care for the Italian seasoned panko for fried snapper because it was too much seasoning for the delicate flavor of snapper.
(Actually, I will only use italian seasoned bread crumbs for stuffed artichokes and chicken/pork cutlets, so it is not because of a dislike for seasoned crumbs, simply too much seasoning for a delicate flavored fish.)

Now, we did cook up (deep fried in vegetable oil) some fresh Yelloweye snapper last night with plain Panko crumbs, starting first with flour, then egg, then panko. Yeah Mon, that style is off the hook!

Add a side condiment of freshly diced onions marinated in some lime juice with a dollop of mayo to make a simple tartar sauce. It simply works well together.

But Macadamia and grated coconut still sounds very intriguing: I just haven't had a chance to try it yet. Maybe sometime soon.

Time to refresh the pantry, and also get stocked up for some Tuna Poke.

It's starting to sound a bit like tuna time, etc.

That sounds good! It will make this weeks grocery list. Thanks.
