ALMOND AND PARMESAN CRUSTED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a broiling pan with aluminum foil or spray with olive oil cooking spray.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Mix Parmesan cheese, garlic, buttery spread, almonds, mayonnaise, bread crumbs, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, basil, black pepper, onion powder, and celery salt together in a bowl.
• Arrange tilapia fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan; cover pan with aluminum foil.
• Broil in the preheated oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip fillets, cover pan with aluminum foil, and broil for 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove aluminum foil and cover fillets with Parmesan cheese mixture. Broil in the oven until fish flakes easily with a fork and topping is browned, about 2 more minutes.

ALMOND-CRUSTED TILAPIA

Steps:

• 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 springs and lemon wedges to serve.

ALMOND CRUSTED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Mix together with bread crumbs, lemon pepper, ground mustard, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place the breading mixture into a shallow bowl or pie dish.
• Whisk together the eggs and place them in a shallow bowl or pie dish. Place the flour in another shallow bowl or pie dish.
• Dip the tilapia fillets into flour and shake off the excess. Then dip into the egg wash and coat both sides. Then coat both sides of the fish with almond breading.
• Preheat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the canola oil and butter. Place the fish in the skillet and cook on each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side. Fish will flake apart when done.
• Serve immediately with mashed red potatoes with chives and green beans.

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.
