Japanese bread crumbs give tilapia a light, crispy coating that doesn’t overpower the delicate fish. Lemony green beans are the ideal complement to this delightful entree. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Ingredients

4 tilapia fillets (6 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1-1/4 cups panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
3/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 teaspoons lemon juice
3/4 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted

Directions

Sprinkle fillets with salt. In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In another shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parsley and thyme. Dip fillets in egg, then coat with crumb mixture.
In a large skillet, cook fillets in butter and 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove and keep warm.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, broth, garlic and lemon juice until blended; set aside.
In the same skillet, saute beans in remaining oil until crisp-tender. Stir cornstarch mixture and pour over beans. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Sprinkle with almonds. Serve with fish. Yield: 4 servings.

How to Toast Nuts

Toasting nuts before using them in a recipe intensifies their flavor. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and bake at 350° for 5 to 10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Be sure to watch them carefully so they don't burn.
