Number Of Ingredients 6

2 filets of tilapia (about 1 pound)
⠓ cup whole almonds
about ¼ cup dijon mustard
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
salt & pepper
coconut oil for pan-frying

Steps:

  • Place almonds in a food processor and process until finely chopped. About 20 seconds. Transfer chopped almonds to a shallow dish. Add paprika and mix together. Season the tilapia filets generously with salt & pepper. Spread mustard on both sides of the filet and then transfer to the almond mixture to coat both sides. Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the filets in the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes per side or until the fish is cooked through. Exterior should be browned and crispy but not burnt. Serve warm and garnish with parsley or lemon.

Tips:

  • Use fresh tilapia fillets. Fresh tilapia fillets will have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a firm texture. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Pat the tilapia fillets dry before cooking. This will help the breading adhere to the fish and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a light hand when breading the tilapia fillets. You don't want the breading to be too thick, or it will overpower the delicate flavor of the fish.
  • Cook the tilapia fillets over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Serve the tilapia fillets immediately after cooking. This will ensure that they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Dijon crusted tilapia is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tilapia fillets are coated in a flavorful breading made with Dijon mustard, bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese, then pan-fried until golden brown. The result is a crispy, flavorful fish dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
