Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Whole eggs
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) lemon pepper
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic pepper
• 1 Cup ground almonds
• 1 Cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 8 6 Ounces (oz) tilapia fillets
• 0.25 Cup all-purpose flour
• 6 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter, melted
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 8 Sprigs parsley, torn
• 8 Lemon wedges, sliced

Steps

1. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with lemon pepper and garlic pepper until well blended. In a shallow dish, combine the ground almonds and 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
2. Lightly dust the tilapia fillets with flour, shaking off any excess. Dip each fillet into the whisked egg mixture, then press into the almond-Parmesan mixture to coat evenly.
3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the tilapia fillets and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium, season the fillets with salt, and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of Parmesan cheese. Cover the skillet and continue cooking until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
4. Transfer the tilapia fillets to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs and serve with lemon wedges for a burst of freshness. Enjoy your restaurant-quality meal at home!
