I scaled this back for 1 serve and just so enjoyed this crust on my fillet of salmon. I put the crust on the skin side which I had drizzled with virgin macadamia oil and baked for 12 minutes in a 175C fan forced oven for a 200 gram fillet and it was cooked just to my liking (slightly underdone but flaking). Squeezed a little fresh lemon juice over and perfection. Thank you **Jubes**, made for Make My Recipe - Edition 11.

This was very good. Reduced the recipe to one fillet, but got a little heavy handed with garlic (note to self---DON'T DO THAT). Baked it at a 400 in hopes of having a crispy crust, but that didn't happen. Next time I won't chop the macadamia nuts so fine and not make a paste with lemon juice. Then perhaps dip into flour, then an egg mixture then roll in the nut mixture. . . just a thought! Loved the flavors. Thanks for sharing! Made for ZWT 5
