FLOUNDER WITH MACADAMIA NUTS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Put the macadamia nuts on a flat surface and, with a knife rather than a food processor or a blender, chop them as finely as possible.
• Sprinkle the fillets evenly on both sides with the macadamia nuts, patting them firmly so that they are evenly coated and the nuts adhere.
• Heat one tablespoon of the oil at a time in a skillet, preferably of the non-stick variety, and when it is hot add a few of the fish fillets. Cook, turning once, about 1 1/2 minutes or slightly less. Cook only until browned on both sides, adding a little more oil as necessary. Transfer the fillets to a warm platter and cook the remaining fish fillets.
• Small amounts of the chopped nuts will fall into the skillet as each batch is cooked. Wipe out the excess as necessary and continue cooking, adding a little more oil as necessary.
• When all the fish fillets are cooked, wipe out the skillet and add the butter and any leftover macadamia nuts. Cook until the butter is foamy and starts to brown. Add the lemon juice and pour over the fish. Serve immediately.

MACADAMIA PARMESAN SOLE

Steps:

• Put a 10- by 15-inch rimmed baking pan in oven as it preheats to 425 degrees F.

• Remove heated pan from oven; add oil and butter and swirl until butter is melted. Lay a piece of fish in pan; turn to coat with butter. Repeat with remaining fish, arranging pieces slightly apart in pan. Sprinkle fish evenly with macadamia nuts.
• Bake, uncovered, in a 425-degree F. oven until fish is just opaque in thickest part (cut to test), 7 to 10 minutes. With a wide spatula, transfer fish to a platter. Garnish with watercress and lemon halves.
