2. Season the halibut with salt. Place the flour and egg each in shallow bowls or pie plates. Dredge the halibut in flour then the egg wash, put the Halibut in the Sacha Inchi nuts and coat one side, set aside on a plate and repeat for second halibut filet.

3. Heat a large saute pan and add 2 tbs canola oil. Add diced onions, season with salt and sauté for 2-3 minutes on medium heat until they just start to caramelize. Peel the skin off of the cooled baked Peruvian purple potatoes, slice into 1/4 inch slices. Add to the sauté pan with red onions, add 2 more tbs canola oil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring gently not to break up the potatoes.

5. In another hot saute pan, add 2 tbs canola oil, place the halibut in the pan nut crusted side down. Cook on medium heat until the nuts are golden brown 2-3 minutes. Flip the fliets over and finish cooking on low heat for 4-5 minutes.

6. Slice the shaved hearts of palm into 1/2 inch thick planks and place in a medium size bowl. Dress the hearts of palm with the Kushuro Vinaigrette and toss together gently. Season with salt, if necessary.
