Pecan Crusted Tilapia Recipe
Serves/Makes: 2 tilapia fillets per person
Ingredients:
- 2 tilapia fillets per person
- 1 pound of pecans, finely grounded
- 2 tablespoons of cereal thickener
- Onion powder
- Salt
- Pepper or lemon pepper
- Lemon
- Parsley
How to cook:
- Preheat the oven to 400° F.
- Use aluminium foil to cover a baking pan.
- Put the finely grounded pecans in a large zip-lock plastic bag and add cereal thickener, onion powder, salt and pepper or lemon pepper.
- Use some water to wet the Tilapia fillets and put then inside the zip-lock plastic bag. This makes it easy to evenly coat the Tilapia fillets.
- Place the pecan crusted Tilapia fillets in the baking pan and bake them in the oven for roughly 10 minutes. Or use a frying pan to cook the pecan crusted Tilapia fillets if you prefer not to bake them in the oven.
- Place the fillets on a serving plate and squeeze some lemon juice over them. Add some parsley as decoration.
Notes:
This recipe can be used both for baking and pan-frying Tilapia fillets. To make it quicker to prepare when you are hungry, you can do a lot of the pecan “breading” in advance and store in your freezer. This way, you can take out the necessary amount of breading each time you feel like eating pecan crusted tilapia and have some delicious pecan crusted tilapia ready in no time.
