Instructions
To make Grilled Strawberry Relish:
- Toss halved strawberries with 1 teaspoon oil; season with salt and pepper.
- On a gas or charcoal grill, or under a charbroiler, grill strawberries about 30 seconds on each side. Refrigerate until cold.
- Toss with mint, lime juice and lime zest; adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
To make Summer Strawberry Butter:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, simmer wine, sliced strawberries, lemon juice and sugar until thick.
- Whisk in butter, one tablespoon at a time, until emulsified; season with salt and pepper.
To make Macadamia Crusted Halibut:
- Chop macadamia nuts roughly by hand or pulse in food processor. Mix with panko; season with salt.
- Season flour with salt and pepper.
- Place panko mixture, flour and eggs in 3 shallow bowls.
- Season halibut with salt and pepper; lightly dredge one side of each filet in flour, patting off excess. Dip floured side of filet into eggs, then into panko mixture, patting to make sure that panko adheres.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium high heat. Cook fillets, crust side down, until golden. With a spatula, turn over carefully and cook until a small knife inserted into fish meets no resistance.
To serve:
- Spoon summer strawberry butter onto 4 plates, place halibut on top. Garnish with grilled strawberry relish.
