Cashew Encrusted Tilapia image

Flaky, nutty, semi-healthy & simple! I got it from my sister's fiance who's a chef at a restaurant. Really good! These are estimate measurements, chefs usually eye ball it! Serve with a tropical sauce, ex: mango, papaya, coconut, or pineapple sauces or salsas. Serve with steamed veggies and/or rissotto.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 -8 tilapia fillets (mahi-mahi, orange roughy works too)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2-2 cups unsalted whole cashews or 1 1/2-2 cups unsalted crushed cashews
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F, line a baking sheet with foil and spray non-stick spray.
  • If using whole cashews, pulse in a blender or food processor until crushed.
  • Mix the cashews with the bread crumbs, set aside. Mix the milk and eggs and beat together in a medium bowl, set aside. Mix about 1 tsp each of both salt and pepper into the flour, set aside.
  • Prepare an assembly line with the three mixtures by putting flour mixture into a shallow plate, and the bread-cashew mixture in another shallow plate.
  • Work the fillets one at a time by flouring each of the fillets and shaking off the excess. Proceed to submerge the floured fillet into the eggs and then covering with the bread crumb-nut mixture; repeat with the remaining fillets.
  • Place crusted fillets on baking sheet at least an inch apart. Insert into oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Eat fresh.

The cashew-encrusted tilapia was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the fish turned out great. I served it with rice and steamed broccoli and it was a delicious meal. The cashew crust was especially tasty.

Cashew-encrusted tilapia was a hit with my family! The fish was flaky and moist, and the cashew crust added a delicious crunch. We will definitely be making this again.
