ALMOND-CRUSTED TILAPIA
INGREDIENTS
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
1/4 cup all-purpose flour for dusting
6 tablespoons butter
salt to taste
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
8 sprigs parsley
8 lemon wedges
PROCEDURE
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Transfer the tilapia to a serving dish, and garnish with parsley springs and
lemon wedges to serve .
