How to Make Almond Crusted Tilapia With Caramelized Onions Rsc

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F (246°C).
  2. Cut four 7-inch squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  3. Lightly coat each foil square with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, with 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup ground almonds, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Divide the caramelized onion mixture evenly among the four foil squares.
  7. Season four tilapia fillets (about 6 ounces each) on both sides with salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper.
  8. Place one tilapia fillet on top of the onions in each foil square.
  9. Top each fillet with 1/4 of the almond mixture.
  10. Drizzle each packet with an additional 1/2 teaspoon olive oil.
  11. Carefully fold and crimp the foil to create sealed packets.
  12. Place the packets on a large baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
  13. Carefully open the packets and broil for 4 minutes.
  14. Reduce oven temperature to 425°F (218°C).
  15. Return the packets to the oven and bake for another 18-20 minutes, or until the tilapia is cooked through.
  16. Open the packets and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the almonds are golden brown.
  17. Garnish with chopped fresh basil or parsley, extra lemon zest, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
