Almond-Crusted Tilapia image

My husband came up with this creation for Easter dinner, as Tilapia is indigenous to the sea of Galilee. It remains the best fish I have ever put in my mouth, absolutely beyond restaurant quality.

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic pepper
1 cup ground almonds
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
8 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets
ΒΌ cup all-purpose flour for dusting
6 tablespoons butter
salt to taste
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
8 sprigs parsley
8 lemon wedges

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.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The tilapia is cooked in just a few minutes, and the almond crust adds a nice crunch.

The tilapia was cooked perfectly and the almond crust was delicious. However, the recipe was a bit too salty for my taste.

This recipe was a bit of a disappointment. The tilapia was overcooked and the almond crust was bland. I won't be making this again.

I love this recipe! The tilapia is always crispy and flaky, and the almond crust is so flavorful. It's also really easy to make, which is a bonus.

This recipe is a keeper! The tilapia was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, and the almond crust added a delicious nutty flavor. I served it with roasted vegetables and a side of rice, and it was a hit with the whole family.
