Categories     Dinner

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh tilapia fillets. This will ensure that the fish is tender and flaky.
  • Pat the tilapia fillets dry before cooking. This will help the coating to adhere to the fish.
  • Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. This will enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Make sure the Dijon mustard is smooth. If it is too thick, it will be difficult to spread evenly on the tilapia fillets.
  • Use a shallow baking dish to cook the tilapia fillets. This will help to ensure that the fish cooks evenly.
  • Bake the tilapia fillets for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the tilapia fillets immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

This Dijon almond crusted tilapia recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The tilapia is coated in a flavorful mixture of Dijon mustard, almonds, and bread crumbs, then baked until golden brown. The result is a tender and flaky fish that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve the tilapia fillets with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
