Add the chili-garlic sauce, lime juice and white wine to a saucepan. Stir to combine.
Heat over medium-high heat allow mixture to simmer until reduced by 1/3rd, about 10 minutes.
Pour the mixture into a small bowl and set aside.
Pour the heavy cream into the saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by 1/3rd, about 5 minutes, whisking occasionally to keep it from sticking to the bottom.
Reduce heat to medium-low and whisk the chili garlic mixture into the cream.
Add the butter/coconut oil to the saucepan about 2 Tablespoons at a time, whisking to combine.
Add the stevia and continue whisking until all of the butter thoroughly incorporated.
Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi-Mahi
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.
Chop the macadamia nuts and place them in a shallow bowl with the cayenne pepper. Mix to combine.
Dry the mahi-mahi filets with a paper towel, then brush the top with softened butter or coconut oil.
Press the filets into the chopped nut mixture as evenly as possible.
Place the filets in the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle additional nuts over the filets to fill in any blank spots.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until the fish is opaque throughout and flakes with a fork. (internal temperature 145 degrees) {Times will vary depending on thickness}
Drizzle the Sweet Chili Lime Butter Sauce over the Macadamia Crusted Mahi-Mahi, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
Notes
To make the nuts crunchier, place under the broiler for a couple of minutes.
You can chop the macadamia nuts in a food processor if you prefer, just don’t let it process for too long or you will end up with macadamia nut butter!
