Cashew Crusted Tilapia

Tonight for supper, as per my husbands request, I made cashew crusted tilapia with steamed broccolini.  This is a fast, crunchy and extremely easy meal that my whole family enjoys.


Ingredients:

1/2 cup flour

1 tablespoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoon pepper

4 large eggs

2 cups finely chopped cashews

4 9 - 10 oz tilapia fillets

3 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons olive oil

Place flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish and stir with a fork to blend. Whisk eggs and place them in a shallow dish. Place Cashews in a shallow dish.   Dredge fish fillets in flour mixture, dip in eggs to coat and then press both sides of the fillet into the nuts.  Melt butter and oil in heavy skillet over medium heat. Place fillets in the skillet and cook untill coating is lightly browned and fish is cooked through.  About 5 min per side.

I often squeeze fresh lemon juice on fish and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
