Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Season both sides of the fish with salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and set aside.
  • Put almonds into a zip-lock baggie, seal, and crush with the back of a spoon (or simply use a food processor).
  • Combine the almonds, bread crumbs, brown sugar, Old Bay Seasoning, cinnamon, and remaining pepper in a shallow bowl.
  • Whisk together the egg and water in another bowl, and place the flour on a large plate.
  • Coat both sides of the fish with flour and shake off the excess; dip in the egg and then coat evenly with the nut mixture. Place the fish on the baking sheet and bake 15 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom.
  • Meanwhile, cook quinoa as directed on package and allow to cool. Dice bell pepper and oranges, and roughly chop spinach.
  • Add all salad ingredients to a large bowl; toss to combine.
  • Serve tilapia with quinoa salad on the side.
