Pine Nut-Crusted Tilapia Tips
Where can you purchase pine nuts?
Since pine nuts have become popular in cooking and baking, most grocery stores carry them. But because they're not really a snacking nut, they're more likely found in the baking aisle or near Italian products such as jarred pesto or sun-dried tomatoes, or even near the specialty cheeses. Other stores have them in large bulk bins sold by weight.
Can you use other kinds of nuts to make this recipe?
Don’t shy away from this pine nut-crusted tilapia recipe if you don’t have pine nuts on hand. Substitute macadamia nuts, blanched almonds or hazelnuts to keep the color light and the flavor mellow. Other mild
fish filets, like orange roughy, whitefish or walleye could be swapped for tilapia as well.
What can you serve with pine nut-crusted tilapia?
Try this
creamy spinach orzo as a complement to your
fresh fish. The bright colors and tender crisp snap of
veggies in this pasta make a perfect addition, too.
