MACADAMIA-CRUSTED SALMON RECIPE

This is an old time favourite recipe that I introduced to the family.  Macadamia nuts are rich in protein, calcium and potassium.  They are also high in energy and fibre with no cholesterol.  Salmon is rich in Omega 3 so it can lower your cholesterol too and has the benefits of strengthening your muscles and heart; helps to improve your memory; aids in speeding up your metabolism and gives you shiny hair bright eyes and healthy skin.  With such good benefits of both macadamia nuts and salmon, this recipe is definitely a must try.  What I love most is when you buy the salmon steak, the ends are always fatty with oils and if you don't overcook the salmon, it literally melts in your mouth!

Macadamia crusted salmon steak recipe

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Difficulty rating: Easy

Ingredients:

1 salmon steak
1 lime
2 teaspoons of corn flour
50g of macadamia nuts
1 tablespoon of Olive oil

Method

1. Mash the macadamia nuts into smaller pieces so that it's easier to fry and sit on the salmon.
2. Cut a lime into quarters.  Poke the salmon with a tooth pick in several places so that you can squeeze the lime juice.  5 minutes later, put on the corn flour to seal the lime juice on both sides.
3. Place a saucepan on high heat and add oil.  Brown the salmon on both sides for about 5-7 minutes to that you don't over cook it.
4. Put the crushed macadamia nuts on one side of the salmon and turn it over until the macadamia nuts are slightly brown.
5. Serve the salmon on a plate and make a salad as a complement to the dish.
