Instructions:

1. Prepare the Macadamia Nut Crust:

In a bowl, combine finely chopped macadamia nuts, panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

2. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

3. Prepare the Fish:

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels.

In a small bowl, mix Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Brush the mustard-honey mixture over each fish fillet, ensuring even coverage.

4. Coat with Macadamia Nut Crust:

Press each fish fillet into the macadamia nut crust, coating both sides evenly.

5. Sear the Fish:

In an oven-safe skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Sear the fish fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side until the crust is golden brown.

6. Bake in the Oven:

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes or until the fish is cooked through.

7. Prepare the Sauce:

In a small saucepan, combine fresh orange juice and white wine. Simmer over medium heat until it reduces by half.

Whisk in unsalted butter and capers. Season with salt and black pepper.

8. Serve:

Plate the macadamia nut-crusted fish on individual dishes.

Drizzle the orange-caper sauce over the fish.

Garnish with fresh microgreens or sprouts and lemon wedges.

Optional Tips:

Serve the fish over a bed of cooked quinoa or couscous for a complete meal.

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the macadamia nut crust for a hint of spice.

Experiment with different white fish varieties based on availability and preference.
