Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400. Put ginger on a small sheet and drizzle with olive oil, turning gently to coat. Roast until nicely browned or about 10 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Put ginger in a bowl and add roasted almonds and lime juice. Mix well, draining excess liquid. Dust with sugar and mix. Set aside. Coat tilapia fillets with ground almonds and set aside. Melt garlic butter and oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add tilapia fillets and cook about 2-3 minutes per side or until flesh flakes easily. Divide tilapia onto four plates and garnish with ginger-almond mixture. Serve with fresh pasta and sauteed vegetables.
