Almond Crusted Tilapia

Almond Crusted Tilapia

Note: If you don't have a skillet large enough to hold all the fillets comfortably, we recommend cooking them in batches. You can substitute catfish, flounder, or orange roughy for tilapia.

Ingredients
1 cup almonds, sliced, divided
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
24 oz cooked tilapia, fillets
1/2 tsp table salt
3 tsp butter
2 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions
1. Process 1/2 cup almonds in a food processor until finely chopped, and combine with 1/4 cup flour in a shallow bowl.

2. Sprinkle fish evenly with salt; dredge in almond mixture.

3. Melt butter with olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat; add fish, and cook 4 minutes on each side or until golden. Remove fillets to a serving plate.

4. Add remaining 1/2 cup almonds to skillet, and cook, stirring often, 1 minute or until golden. Remove almonds with a slotted spoon, and sprinkle over fish.

Makes 4 (6oz) fillets, cut is half and have 3oz fillet.

Serves 8 Points 8
