Delicious Almond Crusted Tilapia
"This delicious almond crusted tilapia is light, healthy, and super easy. My husband came up with this creation for Easter dinner, as Tilapia is indigenous to the sea of Galilee. It remains the best fish I have ever put in my mouth, absolutely beyond restaurant quality."
Equipment
- Large Skillet
- Shallow Dish
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp lemon pepper
- 1 tsp garlic pepper
- 8 (6 ounces) tilapia fillets
- 1 cup ground almonds
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour for dusting
- 6 tbsp butter
- Salt to taste
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 sprigs parsley
- 8 lemon wedges
Instructions
- Beat the eggs with the lemon pepper and garlic pepper until blended; set aside. Stir together ground almonds with 1 cup of Parmesan cheese in a shallow dish until combined; set aside. Dust the tilapia fillets with flour, and shake off excess. Dip the tilapia in egg, then press into the almond mixture.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook Tilapia in melted butter until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium, and season fillets with salt if desired. Sprinkle the Tilapia with the remaining Parmesan cheese, cover, and continue cooking until the Parmesan cheese has melted about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the Tilapia to a serving dish, and garnish with parsley sprigs and lemon wedges to serve.
