Almond Crusted Tilapia
This is a very tasty and easy to make Tilapia recipe. The almonds and Parmesan cheese makes a crispy crust while the Lemon Pepper and granulated garlic give a nice mix of flavors. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the fish just before serving. We served this dish with a side of Spinach Rice which not only adds color, but another Super Food.
What we also liked about this dish is that it is fairly low in sodium while being a great source of protein and Omega-6 fatty acids which helps to regulate your metabolism and promotes bone health. Tilapia is an excellent choice for those that want to eat fish but hate fishy tasting fish.
