Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (4 ounce) frozen tilapia fillets
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pinches garlic pepper, divided, or to taste
2 pinches lemon-pepper seasoning, divided, or to taste
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 large lemon, juiced, divided
¼ cup salted butter, melted
½ cup fresh bread crumbs
¼ cup slivered almonds
1 teaspoon salted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly brush a small cast iron pan or a baking pan with olive oil.
  • Brush frozen fish with 2 teaspoons olive oil and season both sides with garlic pepper, lemon-pepper seasoning, salt, and pepper. Top with 1/2 of the lemon juice. Place fish in a broiler pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 3 minutes. Turn fillets over and continue to bake, watching closely, until fish begins to flake, 3 to 5 minutes. Use a spatula to transfer fish to the prepared cast iron pan. Leave the oven on.
  • Top fish with 1/4 cup melted butter and the remaining lemon juice and season with garlic pepper, lemon-pepper seasoning, salt, and pepper. Season bread crumbs as desired and mix with slivered almonds and 1 teaspoon butter. Sprinkle over fish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, watching closely and without turning, until golden brown on top, 5 to 7 minutes.

This recipe was quick, easy, and delicious! I used panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs and it turned out great. The tilapia was cooked perfectly and the almond-breadcrumb topping was crispy and flavorful.
