Growing up, my mom used to make nut-topped fish nearly every week. Her recipe would change from time to time, but the basics always included butter and some kind of light or white fish. Try this with flounder or halibut if you prefer.

Preheat oven on a low broil setting.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the macadamia nuts and orange zest. Set aside.
Place the lemon sole on a baking sheet, season with sea salt and black pepper to taste, then top evenly with the butter or coconut oil and nut/zest topping.
Place the fish in the broiler and cook approximately 10 minutes or until opaque white all the way through.
