Recipe Makes 4 Servings
- 2 tilapia filets - ¾ cup almond flour - ½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese - 2 eggs - Sea salt, to taste
Ingredients
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Dip each tilapia filet into the almond-Parmigiano mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
3. Dip the filets into the beaten eggs, coating both sides. Then, place them back into the almond-Parmigiano mixture, pressing gently to create a second layer of crust on top of the first one. Ensure the filets are fully coated.
Cooking Instructions
4. Place the double-crusted tilapia filets onto the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the fish is fully cooked. It should flake easily with a fork.
6. While the tilapia is baking, prepare the mustard cheese sauce. Combine the Dijon mustard, capers, anchovy fillets, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Gradually add cream cheese and continue mixing. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
7. Once the double-crusted tilapia is cooked to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a minute.
8. Plate the filets and serve them alongside the mustard cheese sauce. Optionally, garnish with fresh lemon zest or micro greens for an extra touch of elegance.
