Tilapia with Flaxseed and Parmesean Crust
Ingredients:
2 5-6 oz Tilapia filets
2 T ground flaxseed (I run mine through a coffee grinder)
4 T butter 2 T olive oil
2 cloves garlic2 T finely shredded Parmeseano Reggiano (or regular
parmesean in a pinch)
sea salt white pepper
How to Prepare:
- In oven and stove safe pan or dish, heat butter and olive oil over medium high heat.
- Press 2 cloves garlic (or mince) and add to butter/oil.
- Saute until garlic is soft but not brown.
- Rinse and dry tilapia filets. Salt and pepper filets as you wish.
- Place filets in pan, spooning garlic butter oil mixture over them.
- Cover and cook over medium heat until fish flakes easily with a fork–about 4 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine flaxseed, parmesean, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover tops of filets with flax mix, about 2 T on each.
- Spoon some of the butter/oil over topping to moisten. Place under broiler to brown for about 2 to 3 minutes.
I like to serve with baby spinach and Newman’s Own Light Italian Dressing (0 carbs for the dressing!). This is such a treat–it’s kind of like a tilapia scampi. Enjoy!
