This mahi-mahi recipe sounds fancy, but it’s super easy to make, takes about 20 minutes total, and works well with just about any thin fish fillet and any kind of nuts. We like macadamia nuts here for their rich and buttery flavor and because they pair well together with the panko, and mahi-mahi is firm enough to stand up to the dredging and roasting. But feel free to experiment with whatever's in your fridge or pantry—you could also try striped bass with pecans or salmon with pistachios.
