Pecan & Almond Crusted Tilapia with Wild Rice

A lot of people get nervous when thinking about cooking fish, including me. But this recipe is super easy, and Tilapia is a very mild flavored fish sure to please!  
The recipe came from the lovely Costco cookbook.


Ingredients:
1 Tablespoons olive oil
1/2 Cup finely chopped almonds
1/2 Cup finely chopped pecans
1 Tablespoon parsley
2 Tablespoon dry bread crumbs
2 eggs
(4) five to seven ounce Tilapia fillets, either fresh or frozen
Juice of 1/2 lemon


1) Combine the almonds, pecans, parsley and bread crumbs in a shallow dish, or a plate works just fine
2) Beat the eggs in a bowl for dipping
3) Heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil in skillet over medium heat
4) Take the tilapia and coat it in the eggs covering it completely...this is how the nuts and bread crumbs will            stick
5) Now you'll roll it in the nut mixture, again covering it completely
6) Saute the tilapia for 2 minutes on each side until cooked through and coating is golden brown
7) And that is it, your done with the fish!


Now, you could serve the fish with just about anything, but I really love it with wild rice.  I use the Uncle Ben's wild rice in the microwave pouch because it is so quick and easy.
