Tilapia Crusted With Almonds Recipes

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a broiling pan with aluminum foil or spray with olive oil cooking spray.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Mix Parmesan cheese, garlic, buttery spread, almonds, mayonnaise, bread crumbs, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, basil, black pepper, onion powder, and celery salt together in a bowl.
• Arrange tilapia fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan; cover pan with aluminum foil.
• Broil in the preheated oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip fillets, cover pan with aluminum foil, and broil for 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove aluminum foil and cover fillets with Parmesan cheese mixture. Broil in the oven until fish flakes easily with a fork and topping is browned, about 2 more minutes.

Steps:

• 1. In a shallow dish beat egg and add spices, then set aside.
• 2. In a second shallow dish, mix finely chopped almonds with Parmesan cheese and set aside.
• 3. Lightly dust each fillet with flour on both sides.
• 4. Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
• 5. Dip floured fillets into egg mixture.
• 6. Then dip into almonds and cheese mixture. Press down to collect as much coating as possible on both sides of each piece.
• 7. When skillet is hot, saute the fillets turning only once till golden brown (approximately 2-1/2 minutes per side).
• 8. Serve with lemon wedge garnish.

Steps:

• Beat the eggs with the lemon pepper and garlic pepper until blended; set aside. Stir together ground almonds with 1 cup of Parmesan cheese in a shallow dish until combined; set aside. Dust the tilapia fillets with flour, and shake off excess. Dip the tilapia in egg, then press into the almond mixture.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tilapia in melted butter until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium, and season fillets with salt if desired. Sprinkle the tilapia with the remaining Parmesan cheese, cover, and continue cooking until the Parmesan cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the tilapia to a serving dish, and garnish with parsley springs and lemon wedges to serve.

Steps:

• Combine bread crumbs, almonds, salt, garlic powder and black pepper in a shallow dish.
• Pour buttermilk in another shallow dish.
• Pour flour on a sheet of wax paper.
• Rinse the fillets with water and pat them dry with paper towels. Dredge the fillets in the flour, then dip them in buttermilk. Dredge them in the almond mixture. Place the fillets on a small cookie pan that has been dusted with a bit of the almond mix and chill for about 20 minutes for the almond crust to set.
• Heat one tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add two fillets, cook them about three minutes on each side until they are browned and the fish flakes when tested with a fork.
• Remove them to a platter to keep warm. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet and cook the remaining fillets. If you have a large skillet, you can do all four at once.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Season tilapia with salt, pepper and old bay.
• Dust with flour then dip into egg.
• Press almond slices into the fish.
• Heat butter and oil in an oven proof pan.
• Carefully (so not to lose any almonds) place fillets into hot pan brown for 1 minute and flip gentle (again so not to lose any almonds) squeeze half of the lemon on the fish and place in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes.
• Remove gently to a platter squeeze remaining lemon.
• Garnish with scallions and serve.
