NAT'S BUTTERY CASHEW CRUNCH

Steps:

• Generously butter or grease a large baking sheet, and set aside.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, salt and corn syrup. Cook, stirring until butter is melted. Stir in the cashews, and increase the heat to high. Heat to 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads. Stir occasionally with a long handled wooden spoon so the cashews do not burn.
• Pour onto a greased baking sheet, and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container lined with waxed paper.

CASHEW CRUSTED MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the mahi filets on the parchment so they are not touching. Salt and pepper both sides.
• Place in the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
• While the mahi is cooking, combine the Coconut Butter Coating ingredients in a small bowl and stir until well combined.
• Remove mahi from the oven and turn the filets over. Spoon the coconut butter mixture evenly over the 6 mahi filets, using your fingers, if necessary, to cover the top of the fish with the coconut butter.
• Divide the chopped cashews evenly among the coconut butter coated fish, pressing them in lightly so they don't fall off.
• Place the mahi back in the oven, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of your filets. Fish should be opaque and flaky.
• Remove from oven and serve hot with a side of Peach Tomatillo Salsa.

VEGAN CASHEW ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak cashews in 1 1/2 cups water until softened in a bowl, at least 20 minutes.
• Drain water; add almond milk. Blend mixture in an electric blender or food processor until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add water until sauce is slightly thinner than you want it for the final product, as it thickens when heated. Add garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; blend until smooth.
• Pour mixture into a saucepan. Heat on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through and desired thickness is achieved, about 5 minutes. You can add additional water or almond milk if sauce becomes too thick.
