Instructions
  1. 1

    Prep the fish

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat the tilapia fillets dry and lay them on a clean surface. Season both sides with salt and pepper, then dust each side with flour (about 1 tablespoon per side).

  1. 2

    Make the egg wash

    In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, 2 teaspoons dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 tablespoon water until smooth.

  2. 3

    Set up the almond crust

    Roughly chop the sliced almonds until they're in small pieces (a food processor works great here — a few quick pulses). Mix in the grated parmesan and spread the mixture in a shallow dish.

  3. 4

    Coat and bake

    Dip each fillet in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off, then press it into the almond-parmesan mixture to coat all sides. Place on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 5

    Make the honey dijon sauce

    While the fish bakes, combine the 1/3 cup dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, white wine vinegar, and remaining 2 tablespoons honey in a small saucepan. Stir together over medium heat until warm and smooth, 2–3 minutes.

  5. 6

    Serve

    Plate the tilapia and spoon the warm honey dijon sauce over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes & Tips

The sauce is the move here — dijon, a little honey, Worcestershire, and thyme. Sounds simple, tastes way more complicated than it is. Serve it over polenta or rice if you want something under the fish, or just go straight plated. Either way works.
