METHODStep 1.
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a large baking tray and line with baking paper.

Step 2.
Place butter in a food processor and whiz until spreadable. Add macadamia, lemon zest and juice, parsley and a pinch of salt flakes, and pulse until nuts and parsley are roughly chopped.

Step 3.
Place fish, flesh-side up, on prepared tray and spread evenly with butter mixture. Place tray on top rack of oven, and roast, basting with butter mixture occasionally, for 15-20 minutes for medium, or until cooked to your liking. Stand for 10 minutes to rest.

Step 4.
Meanwhile, for macadamia pesto, whiz all ingredients in a food processor until finely chopped. Season well.

Step 5.
Transfer fish to a serving platter and scatter with extra parsley and coriander. Serve with pesto and lemon wedges.
