This recipe sounds great -- but I went to cook it tonight and realized there's no baking time listed. I typically cook tilapia for 12-15 minutes. Is that true here as well?
Hi Kara! Yes 12 - 15 minutes. Somehow our last step got cut off, but I've just re-updated the recipe. Thx for catching that!
Not a fish eater so is this something mild to start out with? Can you use other nuts maybe pecans? How many calories does it have? It looks good. Thanks. ;-)
Diann, this is super mild. You're going to taste a lot more of the nuts and sweetness more than anything else. Definitely feel free to substitute pecans. Enjoy!
I was wondering if you know of a good substitute for the egg wash? I cannot eat eggs or dairy. I loved that you have fantastic substitutes for some of the other things! Any advice would be great. Cant wait to try the recipe!
For this, I'd actually try coconut milk instead of egg wash. Since it's already a bit sweet, the coconut milk will go perfectly with it!
If I substitute the maple syrup for the brown sugar which do I mix the maple syrup with? The egg and water or the almonds?
almonds!
Thanks! I was worried it would be too wet.
Like all of the cooksmarts recipes I have tried, this recipe was easy to follow, turned out exactly as described, and was a hit with my 6-yr-old twins (who helped make it!).
That's what we like to hear Laura! So glad you enjoyed this.
Any calorie information?
I used loseit.com to calculate it, omitted the sugar, and for 3-ounce fish fillets it came to 450 calories per serving. The almonds do add a lot of calories to the dish
