Recipe By :Tony Blakemore The Aussie LC Gourmet
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:30
Categories : 5-10G Low Carb Seafood Fish Meaty
Seafood Fish-Swordfish

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 tbsp chopped macadamia nuts
1/2 cup pork rinds -- crushed
1/4 cup black olives -- pit and chop finely
2 green shallots -- finely chopped
1 tsp dried tarragon
extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
4 fish fillets -- white firm
250 g fresh spinach leaves
1 cup tomatoes -- peel, seed, chop

Preheat oven to very hot 425°F-220°C . Chop macadamias fairly finely and mix with the pork rinds. Combine the olives, shallots and tarragon in a bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil to make a spreadable paste. Season to taste.

Lightly oil a baking dish just large enough to hold the fish. Spread one side of each fish portion with about 2 teaspoons of the olive paste and lightly press a quarter of the crumb mixture on top. Place fish in baking dish crumb side up and bake in preheated oven for 6-10 minutes depending on the variety and thickness of the fish. Arrange fish on serving plates and garnish with thoroughly washed and drained spinach leaves which have been placed in a covered pan over moderate heat until just wilted. Finish with tomato drizzled with a little extra olive oil. Serves 4.


Tip: We used blue-eyed cod but this recipe works well with swordfish, snapper or tuna.
