A triumph of delicate texture and vibrant aromatics. Wild halibut is cloaked in a buttery, air-toasted macadamia nut crust, then suspended in a deeply concentrated, ginger-perfumed fish bone broth reduction.
Ingredients
2 servings
Halibut
Halibut fillets, skinless300 g
Sea salt0.5 tsp
Macadamia Crust
Macadamia nuts, raw and finely crushed60 g
Egg white1 piece
Lime zest, microplaned2 g
Ginger juice, freshly squeezed5 ml

Method
Macadamia Crust
1
In a small bowl, combine the finely crushed macadamias, lime zest, ginger juice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the egg white until frothy, then gently fold it into the macadamia mixture to form a sticky, cohesive paste.
Ginger-Lemongrass Reduction
2
In a small saucepan, combine the fish bone broth, sliced ginger, and bruised lemongrass. Bring to a rapid simmer over medium-high heat and reduce the liquid by two-thirds until it forms a highly concentrated, aromatic syrup. Whisk in the ghee to emulsify, season with salt, and strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Keep warm.
Halibut
3
Season the halibut fillets lightly with sea salt. Press the macadamia paste firmly and evenly onto the top surface of each fillet, creating a uniform crust. Place the fillets onto a small square of parchment paper in the air fryer basket.
4
Air fry at 180C or 350F for 8 to 10 minutes until the macadamia crust is perfectly toasted, golden, and fragrant, and the halibut is just cooked through and tender.
Plate
5
Pour a shallow pool of the strained ginger-lemongrass reduction into the bottom of two warm, wide bowls. Gently lift the halibut from the parchment paper and place it in the center of the reduction. Garnish with a final grating of fresh lime zest if desired and serve immediately.
