After Diana’s death, McGrady pulled back the curtain on palace cooking with his cookbook Eating Royally, which features more than 100 recipes served behind royal doors. In addition to the cookbook, he has continued sharing these royal-inspired stories and recipes on his YouTube channel, where he recreates dishes he once made for the Princess of Wales and reflects on his time spent cooking for Diana and her family.

Before the salmon fatigue set in, though, this macadamia nut-crusted version was a favorite of hers. The dish looked so good (and surprisingly simple) that I was inspired to give it a try in my kitchen. Here's what happened.
This dish is a refined but approachable take on baked salmon. What sets it apart is the crust, which is a mixture of chopped macadamia nuts, citrus, herbs and breadcrumbs that bakes into a golden, crunchy topping.
Despite its royal pedigree, the recipe is really straightforward. It looks elegant on the plate, but it doesn’t require specialty equipment or advanced skills. The entire meal comes together quickly, making it feel like a splurge without the time commitment you might expect from a dish that's this elegant.
Ingredients for Princess Diana’s Favorite Salmon
This dish relies on fresh flavors rather than complicated components. For the fish, you’ll need salmon fillets (ideally skin-on), macadamia nuts, lime zest and juice, fresh cilantro, panko breadcrumbs, melted butter and egg yolk. Simple seasoning with salt and pepper keeps the focus on the fish and nuts rather than heavy spices.

Add all of the crust ingredients to a food processor and pulse until the nuts are broken down and the mixture is combined, but there's still some texture left.

While the salmon is in the oven, sauté the onions and bell peppers in olive oil, salt and pepper until soft, then add honey and orange juice directly to the pan and cook until the mixture reduces into a thick, glossy syrup. The vegetables should be tender and lightly sweet.

My Honest Take on This Royal Recipe
This recipe exceeded my expectations and the final dish looked far more impressive than the effort required would lead you to believe. Despite its royal backstory, this isn't a finicky recipe, so you certainly don't need to be a royal chef to whip it up successfully.

From start to finish, the dish took me about 30 minutes, making it quick enough for a weeknight, even with the multiple components.

Helpful Hints for Making Princess Diana's Salmon at Home
If you’re new to cooking salmon, keep a close eye on the fish to make sure you don't overcook it. The fish should be opaque and flaky but still moist. Overbaking is the easiest way to lose that tender texture. Searing the salmon first helps lock in moisture and flavor, so don’t skip that step.

Leftovers store nicely in the refrigerator for a day or two. Reheat gently in the oven or air fryer to keep the crust from becoming soggy. Microwaving works in a pinch, but the texture won’t be quite the same.
