Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup salted almonds
1/4 cup breadcrumbs, plain or seasoned
2-4 tilapia filets (I always have enough crumbs if I'm using 4 smaller filets)
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1-2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon butter
parmesan cheese, fresh lemon, or sea salt for topping

Steps:

  • Place the almonds and breadcrumbs in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground into a crumb-like mixture. Place the crumb mixture on a plate or in a shallow bowl.
  • Heat oil and butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Spread each tilapia filet with 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard on both sides. Press the tilapia into the crumbs to get it coated on both sides. I usually do this several times to make sure the whole thing gets covered.
  • Place the fish into the frying pan and cook for several minutes on each side, until the outside is browned and the fish is fully cooked. I usually just check the middle of the fish for doneness - pieces will flake off easily when it's done.
  • Serve with parmesan, sea salt, or lemon.

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.

2 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon pepper

Dust the tilapia fillets with flour, and shake off excess. Dip the tilapia in egg, then press into the almond mixture.

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.
