Almond Crusted Tilapia
This is a very tasty and easy to make Tilapia recipe. The almonds and Parmesan cheese make a crispy crust while the Lemon Pepper and California 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 adds a terrific, confetti-like burst of color.
