Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 tilapia fillets (Sole or Flounder could also be used)
1 egg white
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 lemon
2/3 cup finely chopped cashews (I used the food processor)
2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup cooked orzo pasta
1 cup chopped fresh spinach
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
2/3 cup chopped dried apricot
1 teaspoon fresh finely chopped basil
1/4 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine all Cashew Crust ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
  • Rinse tilapia and pat dry.
  • Whisk egg white in a small bowl and pour onto a small plate.
  • Lightly flour one side of the tilapia fillets (fish should be covered in a fine dust layer of flour).
  • Dredge floured side of fillet in egg white and then in Cashew Crust mixture.
  • Set coated fillets (crust side up) on waxed paper and let set.
  • Meanwhile, mix all the stuffing ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • Carefully turn tilapia fillets over and squeeze lemon juice on fillets.
  • Spread Stuffing evenly over fillet and fold so that the thicker side is on top (Use toothpicks to hold together if your fillets are small).
  • Place in buttered baking dish and replace any crust that was wiped away.
  • Cook at 350 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes.
