Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or olive oil.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish. Brush each fillet with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Bake the tilapia in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish bakes, melt the unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced almonds to the skillet and toast them in the butter, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Once the tilapia is out of the oven, carefully transfer the fillets to serving plates or a platter.
Spoon the almond-butter sauce generously over each fillet, ensuring the almonds and butter are evenly distributed.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice, and enjoy your delicious Baked Tilapia Amandine!
