Macadamia Nut Crusted Barramundi Fillets

1 lb fish fillet (Fresh or Frozen)
2 tablespoons Yellingbo Olive Oil

2 cloves finely minced garlic
1 cup of chopped macadamia nuts
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4-5 cedar pappers soaked in cold water

Slice fish into strips about 1 inch wide and the full width of the fillet.  On your cedar planks place a little olive oil then the barra fillet, in a small mixing bowl place chopped mac nuts, lime zest, garlic and parsley. Mix and top with some of the mac mix and then roll up cedar papers and tie. Place on a hot grill and cook for two minutes. Turn and cook one or two more minutes. Serve wrapped with a little salad on the side.

Noodle Zone...on clark street in andersonville is off my list for good. I've given the noodle zone many, many chances and tonight was the last i ordered a green chicken curry probally one of the easiest things to make in asian cooking and it was terrible, actually it sucked probally one of the worst asian meals ive eaten in my 20 year's as a chef, they even have asian cooks in the kitchen!

Avoid this place if you like food.
