Almond Dijon Tilapia – Clean&Delicious
I’m really trying to get some fish on my menu at least once a week. It’s so easy to make and is perfect for a weeknight meal because it cook so quickly (plus both of my kids love it).
Personally, I love a lightly breaded and pan seared piece of fish for dinner so I thought, why not try it with some almond flour in an attempt to create a quick, easy, gluten free dinner idea (a request I receive pretty often).
It worked out perfectly and was absolutely delicious.
If you are not worried about gluten you can easily swap in some white whole wheat flour for the almond flour and call it a day.
