Ingredients

• 2 lampuki fillets
• 1 ¼ cups Macadamia nuts
• ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp flour
• ¼ cup butter, melted
• Coconut milk

Cucumber yogurt

• ½ cucumber
• 150g  Greek yogurt
• Handful coriander
• 1½ tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• 1½ limes, juice only

Method

1. Preheat oven to170°C.

3. Add yoghurt to the bowl and mix well.
4. Add the coriander, olive oil and lime juice and mix well. Set aside.
5. In a medium bowl, stir together the nuts, panko, flour, and butter. Set aside.
   Place a piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush it liberally with vegetable oil.
6. Place the lampuki on the foil and sprinkle each fillet with salt and pepper on both sides. Bake for 5 mins.
7. Remove from the oven and increase to 200°C and brush each fillet with the coconut milk.
8. Divide the nut mixture among the tops of the 4 fillets, patting the mixture to spread and adhere to the fillets.
9. Return to the oven and bake for 5 to 10 mins, or until the crust is golden brown.
10. While the lampuki is cooking, cook the kale by heating a pan with olive oil. Only add the kale when the pan is heated enough, season and cook until slightly wilted.
