Almond-Crusted Tilapia with Veggies
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
  • 8 sprigs parsley
  • 8 lemon wedges
Instructions
1
Combine eggs, lemon pepper, and garlic pepper in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Mix ground almonds and 1 cup of Parmesan cheese together in a shallow dish until they are well incorporated.
2
Coat the tilapia fillets with flour, shaking off any excess. Dip each fillet in the egg mixture and then coat it evenly with the almond-Parmesan mixture.
3
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the tilapia fillets in the melted butter until they are golden brown on both sides, taking about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Lower the heat to medium and sprinkle the fillets with salt, followed by the remaining 1 cup of Parmesan cheese. Cover the skillet and continue cooking until the cheese is melted, approximately 5 minutes.
4
Transfer the cooked tilapia fillets to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley sprigs and lemon wedges.
