METHOD
Macadamia crusted fish with asparagus and green beans
- In a food processor, pulse the nuts briefly to break up.
- Add the garlic, panko breadcrumbs, chives, lemon juice, butter and seasoning and pulse until just combined.
- Combine the asparagus stems with the green beans. Drizzle with the oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Season the fish, then divide the crust mixture into four and press onto the top side of each piece of fish.
- Place the fish on a perforated baking tray.
- Place a universal tray on shelf level 1 and select Combi mode: Grill + Grill setting 3 + 80% moisture.
- Place the tray into the combi steam Pro oven on shelf position 2 and cook for 8 minutes.
- Place the asparagus and green beans on the tray with the fish and continue to cook for a further 5 minutes, or until the crust is browned and the fish is cooked.
Dressing
- Place all ingredients, except the olive oil, into a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Slowly add the olive oil, while whisking to emulsify.
To serve
- Pour the dressing over the greens and toss to evenly distribute.
- Serve one portion of fish with the greens on the side.
Hints and tips

- If using different fish, cooking times may vary.
- Extra dressing can be served on the fish if desired.
- The fish can also be cooked on a grilling and roasting insert in a universal tray on shelf level 2.
- This recipe was tested in a 45 cm combi steam Pro oven. If you own a 60 cm model, cook the fish on shelf level 4.
