Healthy Spiced Pecan-Encrusted Tilapia (South Beach Diet/Diabeti image

A tilapia with a spiced pecan crusting without the added unhealthiness of flour and cornmeal. I'm sure there are more cohesive and perhaps more technically encrusted versions...but this is quick, easy and very very healthy!

Pecan Crusted Trout (South Beach Diet Phase1) image

From new book. Haven't tried. Pecans add even more protein, good monounsaturated fats, and tremendous taste to this easy baked trout dish. Serve tjhe fish with grilled asparagus tossed with a little garlic and extra virgin olive oil and roasted until golden and tender.
