Directions:
MAHI MAHI: Season each filet with salt and pepper. Mix the toasted macadamia nuts into the soft butter. Add in panko flakes. Spread top of fish with crust and sear quickly in 2 Tbsp olive oil in hot sauté pan on both sides. 
CITRUS AKA MISO SAUCE: In saucepan, reduce wine by a third. Add cream and reduce by another third. Over low heat, stir in aka miso paste, then slowly add butter, incorporating each cube. Be careful not to heat too high, or the sauce will break. Finish seasoning with lime juice, salt and white pepper. Be careful with salt, as miso paste is also salty. 
VEGETABLES: Julienne zucchini and carrot. Stir-fry with bean sprouts, using soy sauce. 
PRESENTATION: Place stir-fried vegetables in center of plate. Drizzle Citrus Aka Miso Sauce around border of plate. Place fish filet on top of vegetables. Garnish with topping of fried leeks, roasted red bell pepper, corn sprouts and radish sprouts.

This is a signature dish at the Beach House, Kauai ...it's so decadent, yet doable at home!  I got this recipe from their website. The taste took our senses right back to Hawaii.
