Look who finally made some dinner. I know, my husband was shocked too. I’m slowly finding my way back into the kitchen- and not just to make dessert.
Newborns are tiring. So are two year olds. A newborn plus a two year old is really really tiring. But I’m surviving, and they are so incredibly worth it, and so much fun! Miles is almost one month old already and I’m hoping to be back in the swing of things and regular posts soon!
I rummaged our cupboards, the fridge, the freezer, and rummaged the internet in an attempt to find something I could make without having to go to the store. We don’t typically buy fish but happened to have some Tilapia in our freezer that needed to get used. So other than the fish, you might just have everything on hand to make this Almond-Crusted Tilapia.
Almond-Crusted Tilapia
Ingredients
1/4 cup whole natural almonds
2 tbsp dry breadcrumbs
1 tsp garlic and herb seasoning blend (like Mrs. Dash), (I didn’t have any so made my own using garlic powder and rosemary)
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp canola oil
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 (6 oz) tilapia fillets
fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Place the almonds, bread crumbs, garlic-herb seasoning, and pepper in a food processor, and pulse until finely ground. Pour crumb mixture into a shallow dish or plate.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush mustard over both sides of your tilapia fillets. Dredge the fillets in crumb mixture then place fish in skillet. Cook for 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes away easily. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
