Macadamia-Crusted Ono

A Hawaiian dinner built around ono fillets and macadamia nuts — on the table in 30 minutes. At 480 calories and 40g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Ono fillets
• 3/4 cup Macadamia nuts
• 1/2 cup Panko
• 1 Egg
• 3 tbsp Butter
• 1 Lemon
• 2 tbsp Parsley

Steps

1. Pulse the macadamias to coarse crumbs — not dust, texture is the point — and mix with panko.
2. Brush the ono with beaten egg, press firmly into the nut crust, and chill 10 minutes so it adheres.
3. Sear crust-side down in foaming butter 3 minutes, flip, and finish 2 minutes more.
4. Serve with lemon and parsley; the nuts toast in the pan into something better than breading.
5. Press the crust on firmly and chill before searing — the nuts stay put instead of sliding off.
