Almond Crusted Tilapia

This can be done with salmon also.

 

Ingredients

4 tilapia fillets (or 1 1/2 lb salmon)
1 cup almond meal
2 Tbl ground coriander (I use cilantro when I don't have coriander.)
2 Tbl ground cumin
juice of 3 lemons (or 1/2 cup lemon juice)
sea salt and black pepper
coconut oil
(1/2 cup chopped almonds)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine almond meal, coriander, and cumin in small bowl.
3. Pour lemon juice over fish and allow to sit for about 10 min, then season with salt/pepper
4. Coat each fillet with almond meal mixture (both sides)
5. Place the fish on a broiler pan, greased lightly with coconut oil.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with fork.
7. (For additional texture and flavor, I added the chopped almonds across the top just before I cooked it. I went over it lightly with coconut oil, using a basting brush.)

I check my fish/meat with a thermometer so that it doesn't get dried out. If you do this, your tilapia should reach 145-155 degrees.
