Almond Crusted Tilapia for Two

Almond Crusted Tilapia for Two

“This is a recipe worthy of repeating again and again. I had a choice today at the grocery store between Alaskan Cod and Tilapia. I went with Cod this time, but will use Tilapia next time. It was absolutely delicious. The finely chopped almonds and parmesan gave it such a crunchy crust, and the spices mixed with the egg made the fish very tasty. We love fish, and this will become a favorite way to fix it.” - drcid
