Nut-crusted tilapia
Nut-crusted tilapia is a delicious dish where tilapia fillets are coated with a mixture of finely chopped nuts (such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts) and breadcrumbs, along with herbs and spices. The fillets are then pan-fried or baked until the crust is crispy and the fish is tender and flaky. It's a tasty and nutritious way to enjoy tilapia with a crunchy and flavorful twist!
