    Almond Crusted Tilapia

    Almond Crusted Tilapia is a simple and delicious meal to make in a cast iron skillet. Tilapia fillets coated in flour, egg wash, and almond breading.

    We are eating healthier and trying to incorporate more fish into our diets. Instead of pan frying, you could cook this tilapia in the oven for an oven baked tilapia. This crusted tilapia is golden on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside.

    How to make Almond Crusted Tilapia:

    Step 1: 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.

    Step 2: Whisk together the eggs and place them in a shallow bowl or pie dish. Place the flour in another shallow bowl or pie dish.

    Step 3: 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.

    Step 4: 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.

      We have tilapia at least once a week so I am always looking for new ways to fix it. This recipe sounds delicious and I’m sure it will find its way into our regular rotation.
