Best 8 Baked Almond Crusted Tilapia Recipes

ALMOND CRUSTED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Place the almonds and breadcrumbs in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground into a crumb-like mixture. Place the crumb mixture on a plate or in a shallow bowl.
• Heat oil and butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Spread each tilapia filet with 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard on both sides. Press the tilapia into the crumbs to get it coated on both sides. I usually do this several times to make sure the whole thing gets covered.
• Place the fish into the frying pan and cook for several minutes on each side, until the outside is browned and the fish is fully cooked. I usually just check the middle of the fish for doneness - pieces will flake off easily when it's done.
• Serve with parmesan, sea salt, or lemon.
