Macademia Nut Encrusted Salmon

Tonight I am cooking my infamous salmon for my sweetie:

Ingredients:
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided (I used butter substitute)
1/4 cup macademia nuts, coarsely chopped
1 full salmon fillet, about 2 1/2 pounds
1-2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet and add macademia nuts. Cook 2-3 minutes or until lightly brown. Remove from heat.

Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a roasting pan. (Place in oven for a few minutes). Place the salmon filet in the roasting pan and season with salt and pepper. Spread the toasted nuts over the salmon. Bake for 10-15 minutes (depending on thickness of fish).

Transfer salmon to the serving platter. Sprinkle with cilantro and fresh lime juice.

This is positively her fav recipe. :)

Enjoy!
