If you don't have a skillet large enough to hold all the fillets comfortably, we recommend cooking them in batches. You can substitute catfish, flounder, or orange roughy for tilapia.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 9 minutes
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
1 cup [108 g] sliced almonds, divided
1/4 cup [35 g] all-purpose flour
4 (6-oz.) [672 g] tilapia fillets
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
Preparation
1. Process 1/2 cup [54 g] almonds in a food processor until finely chopped, and combine with 1/4 cup [35 g] flour in a shallow bowl.
2. Sprinkle fish evenly with salt; dredge in almond mixture.
3. Melt butter with olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat; add fish, and cook 4 minutes on each side or until golden. Remove fillets to a serving plate.
4. Add remaining 1/2 cup [54 g] almonds to skillet, and cook, stirring often, 1 minute or until golden. Remove almonds with a slotted spoon, and sprinkle over fish.
