If you are afraid of fish, don't be...it's really easy! Talapia is a firm white fish much less expensive that halibut. Costco has large bags of individually wrapped loins in the freezer section. It picks up the flavor you add to it. The following recipe has a lot of crunch and flavor and takes 30 minutes from start to finish.
Preheat your oven to 400. You will need 3 shallow bowls good for dipping.
In the first- crack two eggs and whip lightly.
Second bowl - one cup a flour.
Third- one cup par meson (I suggest a mix w/asiago for more flavor) and one cup raw almond crumbs ( I use my nutribullet for crushing the almonds finely...works like a charm 1/2 a cup at a time) and seasoning. I like pepper and garlic salt.
Spray a cookie sheet w/olive oil.
Dip your fish first in the flour, then the egg wash, then the almond/cheese mixture: place on greased cookie sheet.
If you like lemon, place sliced lemon on top of the fish. If you like garlic, throw in a couple of whole cloves w/out the husk.
I then melt butter (one pat per piece of fish) then drizzle down the middle of each piece. This ends up adding allot of flavor to the fish so don't skip this step, it's such a small amount of calories.
Sprinkle with fresh organic parsley.
Cook in preheated oven at 400 uncovered for 20 min (or until the fish is white all the way through).
I plated this with some steamed broccoli with sea salt and organic baby red potatoes roasted in a cast iron pan in the oven. I toss the potatoes w/olive oil and add garlic salt, and crushed red peppers (pizza peppers) with fresh parsley and garlic or any other spices/herbs I have lying around. I cook them at 400, turn them after 10 min, cook another 10 (totalling 20 min).
This is such a healthful satisfying meal and, .....my hubby took the leftovers the following day for lunch and he said it was just as good or better the next day! Super score! He gave me permission to make this anytime :)
