Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup ground almonds
• salt to taste
• 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic pepper
• 8 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets
• 8 sprigs parsley
• 8 lemon wedges
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour for dusting

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Beat eggs with lemon pepper and garlic pepper in a small bowl until blended. Stir together ground almonds and 1 cup Parmesan cheese in a shallow dish until combined.

Step 2

Dust tilapia fillets with flour; shake off excess. Dip tilapia in beaten egg, then press into almond mixture to evenly coat.

Step 3

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tilapia in melted butter until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium, then season fillets with salt and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Parmesan cheese. Cover and continue cooking until Parmesan cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Transfer tilapia fillets to a serving dish and garnish with parsley sprigs and lemon wedges.
