Servings: 4
Ingredients:
3/4 cup almonds (or about 1/2 cup almond meal)
No bacon today. I figured you could use a break.
I think we all know how much I love coconut.
I got a little heavy handed on the coconut. Oops.
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
I loved this so much. I just love fish. I just love coconut.
If you love coconut and almonds but are on the fence about fish, you must give it a try. It is perfect atop a salad (yuck) or even with pasta or brown rice.
I just love food. Period.
A few squirts of lemon juice is mandatory. This just screams summer. And beach weather.

It's super easy too – dip the tilapia then bake!

It is not very sweet and is basically tilapia encrusted in coconut and almonds. Best combination ever.
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Any chance I had at tricking Mr. How Sweet into eating this flew out the window at that moment.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and fish is flakey.
But that's okay… more for me.

Which would be nice to have right now, since there are about six inches of snow outside my window. Do I live in Antarctica?
