Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 5 servings

  • 1/2 cup lemon pepper panko bread crumbs

  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 5 (6 ounce) tilapia filets

  • 3 tablespoons butter

Directions

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine panko, Parmesan cheese, and almonds. Process until roughly ground; place into a shallow dish and set aside. In another shallow dish, beat eggs with a fork; set aside. Combine flour, parsley, garlic powder, and pepper in a bowl; set aside.

  2. Heat butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. Lightly coat tilapia filets with flour mixture. Dip tilapia in egg, then press into panko mixture.

  4. Add fish to heated skillet; cook until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, approximately 3 minutes per side. Transfer tilapia to a platter and serve.

Cook's Note:

Nonstick cooking spray or margarine may be used instead of butter.
