How to Make Mediterranean Tilapia Cashew Fusion With Lemon Sauce
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a baking pan and line with aluminum foil.
- Roughly chop 1 cup of cashew nuts.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 large eggs.
- In another shallow dish, place 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour.
- Dredge each tilapia fillet in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Press the coated fillet into the chopped cashews on both sides, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the cashew-crusted fillets in the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of ground cashews.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the fish is baking, prepare the lemon sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks and 1/4 cup of cold chicken or fish stock until smooth.
- In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of heated chicken or fish stock, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of Marsala wine, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk until the sauce thickens.
- Bring to a simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let sit for 2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk the egg yolk mixture into the warm lemon sauce until smooth and creamy.
- Serve the baked tilapia on individual plates. Top with halved Kalamata olives.
- Drizzle generously with the lemon sauce, and pour some extra sauce onto the plate.
- Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves and capers.
- Serve with cooked vegetables of your choice and lemon wedges. Enjoy!
