DIJON ALMOND CRUSTED TILAPIA

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 filets of tilapia (about 1 pound)
⠓ cup whole almonds
about ¼ cup dijon mustard
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
salt & pepper
coconut oil for pan-frying

Steps:

  • Place almonds in a food processor and process until finely chopped. About 20 seconds. Transfer chopped almonds to a shallow dish. Add paprika and mix together. Season the tilapia filets generously with salt & pepper. Spread mustard on both sides of the filet and then transfer to the almond mixture to coat both sides. Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the filets in the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes per side or until the fish is cooked through. Exterior should be browned and crispy but not burnt. Serve warm and garnish with parsley or lemon.

Tips:

  • To ensure the tilapia fillets are evenly cooked, they should be of uniform thickness. If they are not, use a sharp knife to carefully slice them to an even thickness.
  • Before coating the fillets with the Dijon mustard mixture, pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the coating adhere better.
  • If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can substitute yellow mustard. However, Dijon mustard has a more robust flavor that pairs well with the tilapia.
  • Be sure to preheat the oven to the proper temperature before baking the tilapia. This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Keep an eye on the tilapia while it is baking. It should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the tilapia immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Dijon-crusted tilapia is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is flaky and moist, and the Dijon mustard crust adds a tangy flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table.
