Although the recipe was easy, it seemed a bit bland for our family. I used chilean sea bass for one batch, and some halibut for another. Since I was using a thicker piece of fish, it was difficult to get it cooked through without burning the macadamia nuts. So I ended up starting out in the frying pan, to brown the outside, then transferring it to the oven to finish baking.I served it with the hawaiian pesto as suggested. I think I was just looking for a bigger flavor on the fish itself. Macadamia nuts are very expensive, so I hated to have any burn or fall off the fish. But we enjoyed it and I'm glad I tried it. Served it with some ginger carrot soup, and my husband discovered that it was very tastey when he put it into his soup!
