Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the tilapia on a cutting board and slice each fillet down the center where the fish connects to create 2 smaller fillets. Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper and set aside.
2. Lightly oil or coat a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Combine the almonds, bread crumbs, brown sugar, Old Bay Seasoning, salt, cinnamon, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Whisk together the egg and water in another bowl, and place the flour on a large plate.
3. To bread the fish, coat both sides with the flour and shake off excess. Dip in the egg and then coat evenly with the nut mixture. Place the fish on the baking sheet, mist with nonstick cooking spray, and bake until golden brown and the fish is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
