Preparation

Step 1

Beat eggs, lemon pepper, and garlic pepper until blended; set aside. Stir together ground almonds with 1 cup of parmesan cheese in a shallow dish until combined; set aside. Dust tilapia with flour and shake off excess. Dip the fillets in egg, then press into the almond mixture.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tilapia in melted butter until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium and season fillets with salt, if desired. Sprinkle tilapia with remaining parmesan cheese, cover, and continue cooking until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
Transfer tilapia to a serving dish and garnish with parsley springs and lemon wedges to serve.
