Cashew Crusted Stuffed Tilapia
- 4 tilapia fillets (Sole or Flounder could also be used)
- 1 egg white
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 lemon
- Cashew Crust
- 2/3 cup finely chopped cashews (I used the food processor)
- 2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- Stuffing
- 1 cup cooked orzo pasta
- 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2/3 cup chopped dried apricot
- 1 teaspoon fresh finely chopped basil
- 1/4 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Combine all Cashew Crust ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
- Rinse tilapia and pat dry.
- Whisk egg white in a small bowl and pour onto a small plate.
- Lightly flour one side of the tilapia fillets (fish should be covered in a fine dust layer of flour).
- Dredge floured side of fillet in egg white and then in Cashew Crust mixture.
- Set coated fillets (crust side up) on waxed paper and let set.
- Meanwhile, mix all the stuffing ingredients in a medium bowl.
- Carefully turn tilapia fillets over and squeeze lemon juice on fillets.
- Spread Stuffing evenly over fillet and fold so that the thicker side is on top (Use toothpicks to hold together if your fillets are small).
- Place in buttered baking dish and replace any crust that was wiped away.
- Cook at 350 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes.
