A refreshing pineapple salsa complements these crispy golden fillets. The colorful entree will make an impression with guests. I like to garnish each fillet with whole macadamia nuts. âJennifer Fisher, Austin, Texas Ingredients:
2 eggs |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-3/4 cups macadamia nuts, finely chopped |
4 tilapia fillets (6 ounces each) |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
pineapple salsa: |
1 cup cubed fresh pineapple |
1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper |
3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped |
1 tablespoon lime juice |
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot |

Directions:
1. In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs and cayenne. Place flour and macadamia nuts in separate shallow bowls. Coat tilapia with flour, then dip in egg mixture and coat with nuts.
2. Place on a greased baking sheet; drizzle with butter. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
