CASHEW AND ROSEMARY ENCRUSTED SALMON WITH HIBISCUS-LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine cashew nuts, coconut, chopped rosemary, and bread crumbs. Dredge the fillets of salmon in flour, then dip in beaten eggs.

Lower the heat and gradually add the butter, whisking at all times alternating with lime juice, until thoroughly incorporated, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Served with sliced encrusted salmon.
