Macadamia and Panko Crusted Tilapia

Again...you fish haters...this would be great with chicken as well.

1/2 cup oj

1/4 cup white wine

1 small shallot, finely chopped

10 tablespoons of butter

salt and pepper

1 cup of macadamia nuts, toasted and chopped

1 cup of panko

2 eggs

4 pieces of tilapia

1/2 cup vegetable oil

In a small saucepan add the oj, wine, and the shallot. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced...10-12 minutes. Lower the heat and whisk in 6 tablespoons of butter, one tablespoon at a time. Season with salt and pepper.

Place the macadamia nuts and 1/2 cup of panko bread crumbs in a food processor and process until coarse. In a shallow bowl beat the two eggs, in another bowl add the remaining panko crumbs and the nut mixture. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Dip in the eggs and then coat with the panko mixture. Heat two tablespoons of butter and half the oil...cook the first two pieces of fish. Add the remaining butter and oil and cook the other two pieces of fish.
