Pecan Crusted Tilapia

You Need per person/serving:

• 1 piece of fish of choice (flounder, whiting or cod recommended)
• 1 tablespoon of butter
• 1 egg per every 2 servings
• salt, pepper, and garlic, to taste
• 1/4 cup walnuts, pecans or a mixture, ground into a meal in a food processor or blender
• lettuce or spinach
• pumpkin seeds
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• extra pecans for salad (optional)
• balsamic vinegar or homemade dressing of choice (optional)

 

What to do:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and make sure fish is defrosted if using frozen.
• While heating, whisk eggs until smooth in a bowl and put walnut/pecan meal mixture on a large plate.
• Dredge each piece of fish in egg mixture and then dip in the walnut/pecan meal mix. Nut mixture will not stick as well as flour and this is ok. You should have some leftover nut meal after lightly coating the fish.
• Carefully place each piece in a large baking dish.
• After all fish is in dish, put any remaining nut meal mixture on top of fish and pat down.
• Put fish into oven and bake 15-20 minutes until cooked through and starting to flake.
• While cooking, prepare salad by washing spinach and lettuce and topping with desired toppings: pumpkin seeds, nuts, feta cheese, olive oil, and homemade dressing of choice.
• Serve and Enjoy
