Tilapia with Tomato and Walnuts
This tilapia with tomato and walnuts is a quick, flavorful dinner featuring tender tilapia fillets, juicy tomatoes, and a crunchy walnut topping. Perfect for healthy, protein-packed meals!
Ingredients
- 4 tilapia fillets (4 ounces each)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Season the tilapia fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet lightly coated with cooking spray, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the tilapia and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned.
- Transfer the fish to a broiler pan or baking sheet and layer the tomato slices evenly over the fillets.
- In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, chopped walnuts, melted butter, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined, then spoon the mixture over the tomato-topped fillets.
- Broil the tilapia 3-4 inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp, and the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
