Description

Coconut and almond-encrusted fish.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups Raw Almonds (or 1/2 Cup Almond Meal)
  • ½ cups Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
  • 4 whole Tilapia Fillets
  • Salt And Pepper
  • 2 whole Egg Whites, Lightly Beaten

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425ºF.

If the almonds are whole, grind in a food processor until they are coarsely ground. Mix almond meal with coconut thoroughly. Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper liberally. Dip each tilapia fillet in the egg whites, then coat with the almond/coconut mixture. Lay on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet. If desired, spritz with olive oil to help the crust brown.

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and fish is flaky.

This is AMAZINGLY delicious! I paired it with your avocado strawberry salsa and it was fantastic.

Very easy to make and fast too! Nice change of pace for fish, but a little bland on its own.

This was so delicious and easy. I had halibut steaks instead of talapia, and also used Macadamian nuts an it was wonderful! I will defiantly be making this over and again! :)
