Quick preparation gives a complex flavor to this delicious mild fish. I made this recipe when hazelnut meal was available at Trader Joe's. If you don't have finely ground hazelnut meal available to you, you can crush hazelnuts with a rolling pin or grind them in a food processor or blender. They don't have to be perfectly fine. Small nut pieces work great in this recipe too. Ingredients:
1 lb tilapia fillet |
1 cup buttermilk |
3/4 cup hazelnut meal |
3/4 cup cornmeal |
1/2 teaspoon dried sage |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Mix hazelnut meal and cornmeal with spices.
3. Dip fish in buttermilk, then in breading mixture.
4. Heat olive oil in an oven safe skillet over medium high heat.
5. Add fish, fry five minutes.
6. Flip the fish and place the skillet in the oven until cooked, about 10 minutes.
