Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Shutome (swordfish steaks)
• 1 cup Macadamia nuts
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Finely chop the macadamia nuts and mix them with the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.

Step 3

Prepare a dredging station with three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and black pepper, one with beaten eggs and milk, and the third with the macadamia nut and breadcrumb mixture.

Step 4

Pat the swordfish steaks dry with a paper towel. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dip in the egg wash, and finally coat in the macadamia breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure an even coating.

Step 5

Heat olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the swordfish steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

While the fish is baking, prepare the citrus glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine orange juice, lime juice, honey, and minced garlic. Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly reduced and thickened, then remove from heat.

Step 8

Once the swordfish is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 9

Drizzle the citrus glaze over the swordfish steaks and garnish with fresh parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately with steamed rice or a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
