Pecan Crusted Tilapia Recipes

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs. In a separate shallow bowl, combine coconut, pecans, salt and pepper flakes. Dip fillets in eggs, then in coconut mixture, patting to help coating adhere., In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. In batches, add tilapia and cook until fish is lightly browned and just begins to flake easily with a fork, 2-3 minutes on each side.
