1. Step 1Combine slaw mix, pineapple and green onion, cilantro, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce in a large bowl and set aside. Let flavors combine for about 20 minutes.
2. Step 2Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Thaw the fish and rinse under cold water. Use paper towel to pat each fillet very dry.
3. Step 3In a food processor, chop macadamia nuts until the consistency of bread crumbs. Mix together nuts, panko and cayenne pepper. In a separate small bowl whisk egg with coconut milk. Salt and pepper both sides of the barramundi fillets.
4. Step 4Fill the bottom of a cast iron skillet with the olive oil and place on stovetop over med-high heat. Once the oil is heated up, dip fish in egg mixture then coat both sides with panko nut mixture. Place fish in hot skillet and cook 3 minutes on each side.
5. Step 5Squeeze lime over the fillets and place cast iron skillet in the oven and bake for another 10 minutes or until firm.
6. Step 6 Once fish fillets are finished baking, plate the meal by adding a cup or two of the pineapple slaw salad to a plate and top with the macadamia crusted fish. Enjoy!
