Hazelnut Encrusted Mahi Mahi

Lots of hazelnuts lately, huh?  I figured they should go to use instead going to waste.  Plus, I love the way they smell (and taste) when roasted.  This recipe is sort of a departure from the hazelnut pesto recipe – it is much simpler.  I think you can sort of modify it to fit your taste; so easy.  I baked this mahi mahi and grilled some corn and tomatoes.  What a fabulous summer dish!

Ingredients:

3-4 smaller mahi mahi steaks

1/2 cup of hazelnuts roasted and ground (hazelnut roasting instructions here)

2 tsp garlic powder

1.5 tsp Montreal Steak Seasoning (my favorite)

2 eggs

Directions:

1.  Preheat over to 350 degrees

2.  Grind your roasted hazelnuts to a coarse consistency

3.  Mix the spices with the hazelnuts

4.  Beat the eggs in a shall dish and dip each mahi mahi steak in the egg and then press into the hazelnut mix to coat them

5.  Place in a greased (with cooking spray) glass dish and back for about 17 minutes until white throughout

6.  Enjoy with veggies… or in my case corn on the cob and grilled tomatoes!
