We love seafood whether it's cooked at home or eaten at our favorite restaurant. I try to fix it in one form or another at least once a week because it is healthy as well as yummy. I really wish we had a good place to get fresh seafood but I have to resort to frozen most of the time. Tilapia is one of my favorites, not only because it has such a mild flavor, but also because it can be prepared in a variety of ways.
PECAN CRUSTED TILAPIA
1/2 c. dry bread crumbs
2 tbsp. finely chopped pecans
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 c. lowfat buttermilk
1/2 tsp. hot sauce
3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
4 (6oz.) tilapia or snapper fillets
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
4 lemon wedges
Combine 1st 5 ingredients in a shallow dish. Combine buttermilk and hot sauce in a medium bowl; place flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each fillet in flour, dip in buttermilk mixture, dredge in breadcrumb mixture. Heat 1 1/2 tsp. oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 fillets and cook 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Repeat procedure with the remaining fillets. Serve with lemon wedges.
