Since changing to a healthier style of cooking, I've come up with new coatings for baked fish. I use almonds, panko bread crumbs and a smidge of hot sauce to add crunchy texture with nice heat. -Amanda Flinner, Beaver, Pennsylvania

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large egg
1/4 cup Louisiana-style hot sauce
3/4 cup slivered almonds, chopped and toasted
1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 tilapia fillets (4 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Whisk together egg and hot sauce in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, toss almonds, bread crumbs, lemon zest and seasonings., Halve fillets lengthwise; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dip in egg mixture, then in almond mixture, patting to adhere; place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned and fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 12-15 minutes.
