3 5/16 tablespoons macadamia nuts
4 sprigs fresh flat leaf parsley chopped
4 sprigs fresh chervil chopped
5 sprigs fresh thyme 4 sprigs chopped, 1 sprig left whole
2 sprigs fresh rosemary 1 sprig chopped, 1 sprig left whole
2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic peeled and halved
3 tablespoons whipping cream

1
For barley risotto, heat 1 tbsp oil and saute shallot, saffron, orange zest and pearl barley for 1 min. Add orange juice. Gradually add fish stock, stirring occasionally, only adding more stock as barley absorbs liquid, around 25-30 mins total. Season and add a pinch of chili flakes.
2
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 250u00b0F. Season fish then drizzle with lemon juice. Dredge in flour and tap off excess. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan, add fish, garlic, thyme sprig and rosemary sprig and saute until fish is browned all over. Transfer to an ovenproof baking dish and bake for 15-20 mins.
3
Remove the fish from the oven, mix chopped macadamia nuts with chopped herbs then roll fish in mixture. Whip cream to medium peaks and stir into barley risotto. Arrange on serving plates. Slice fish and place on top of risotto.
