Equipment

  • cedar plank

Ingredients

Macadamia Nut Topping

  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup macadamia nuts chopped
  • 1 lemon (just the zest)

  • 1 lb halibut filets
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
