Pine Nut and Parmesan Crusted Tilapia

Pine Nut and Parmesean Crusted Tilapia Coda Pic 4_5

For the Crust: 

1/4 c. Italian bread crumbs

1/4 c. Parmesan cheese, finely grated

1/4 c. ground pine nuts. I used a mortar and pestle

1 tbsp. dried Italian herb mix. Mine had rosemary, marjoram, oregano and sage in it

1 egg

4 Tilapia filets

1 Tbsp. olive oil

Grind the pine nuts with a mortar and pestle till mostly ground. There will be big pieces of pine nuts and it will form somewhat of a paste.

Mix the first 4 ingredients together on a plate

Beat the egg and pour onto a plate

Dredge the the tilapia filets into the egg, then into the dry mixture

Heat a skillet on medium heat with the olive oil. Add the breaded tilapia filets and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the tilapia flakes with a fork.

Serves 4
