Ingredients

  • 20 ounces Tilapia (raw)

  • 1/8 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/8 tsp Salt

Instructions

  • Pour 1 Tbsp. oil into sauté pan and warm over medium heat
  • Place thawed tilapia in pan and sprinkle with slivered almonds, black pepper and salt. Sear both sides, ~ 5-6 minutes on each side. Add water to cover the bottom of the pan and continue to cook on medium heat or until water is absorbed into the fish (water prevents the fish from sticking and having to use more oil).
