Pecan-Crusted Tilapia

By desteech

This recipe works without the Golden Rum Butter Sauce if you are short on time. Even my 7 year old will eat this.

Ingredients

• * 1/2 cup pecan halves
• * 4 (6-oz.) fresh tilapia fillets
• * 1 teaspoon salt
• * 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• * 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• * 3 tablespoons butter
• * Golden Rum-Butter Sauce
• * Garnishes: lemon wedge, fresh parsley sprig

Preparation

Step 1

1. Process pecans in a food processor until finely chopped. Sprinkle fish fillets with salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Dredge fish in finely chopped pecans.

2. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add fish, and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until well browned and fish flakes with a fork. Serve with Golden Rum-Butter Sauce. Garnish, if desired.
