Another quick, easy, and tasty recipe! I don't make a lot of fish; I have to credit my mom with getting me to try this one (merci maman :)) My favorite side to serve with it, which is in the picture below, is Rice-A-Roni Long Grain and Wild Rice mix.
Here is the link to the original recipe:

The only modification I made this time was to use pecan oil (yes, it does smoke a bit because it's only supposed to tolerate up to medium heat, but it's good anyhow!) and cooked three fillets at once instead of batches (as I only made 3 instead of 4).
Ingredients:
1/2 c. dry breadcrumbs
2 T. finely chopped pecans (I used food processor)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 c. buttermilk
1/2 tsp. hot sauce
3 T. flour
3 (or 4) tilapia fillets
pecan (or other) oil--not sure of amount because I had to add more
Instructions:
1. Combine breadcrumbs, pecans, salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a shallow dish.
2. Combine buttermilk and hot sauce in a bowl or pie plate (next time I will opt for the latter).
3. Place flour in a shallow dish.
4. Heat oil over medium high heat in a large non-stick skillet. Dredge fillets in flour, then in buttermilk mixture, and then in breadcrumb mixture.
5. Cook for around 3 minutes on each side.
6. Serve with favorite side and enjoy!
