Ingredients

    1 Tilapia filet (4 oz.)
    10 Pecan Halves (.5 oz)
    2 tbsp Coconut Flour
    1/2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
    1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
    1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
    1 tbsp Ener-G Egg Replacer
    1 tbsp Safflower Oil

Directions

Pulse the pecan halves in a food processor until finely chopped, add the coconut flour and spices and pulse to combine.

Rinse and dry the tilapia filet. Coat with the dry egg replacer and shake off any excess. Lightly moisten the egg replacer by sprinkling water over the surface of the fish, this will allow the pecan mixture to stick to the fish.

Press the pecan mixture onto both sides of the fish, and refrigerate for 5 minutes to set.

Heat oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Place filet in the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 5 minutes per side.

Serve immediately. Makes 1 serving
