Pecan-Crusted Tilapia

Description: I love pecan-crusted fish. This is a light recipe, but you can serve it with a kicked-up tartar sauce as well.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
• 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 4 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets
• 1 tablespoon oil, divided
• lemon wedge

Steps:

1. Combine breadcrumbs, pecans, salt, garlic, and pepper in a shallow dish.
2. Combine buttermilk and hot sauce (such as Tabasco) in a medium bowl.
3. Place flour in a third dish.
4. Dredge 1 fillet in flour, dip into buttermilk mixture, then into breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with remaining fillets.
5. Heat 1 1/2 tsp oil in a large skillet (non-stick works best) over medium-high heat.
6. Cook 2 fillets for 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily.
7. Add remaining oil and cook additional 2 fillets.
8. Serve with lemon!
