Viki's Almond Encrusted Tilapia Fillets With Orange Sauce

"I recently learned I was diabetic. I once had trout at a restaurant that was almond encrusted with a Grand Marnier Sauce. I decided to create a recipe that used sugar free Torani Syrup and sugar free Orange Marmelade."

directions

  • Preheat Oven to 400°.
  • Pre-spray iron skillet or baking dish with Pam.
  • Combine Almond Syrup and Egg Whites and Whip until stiff peaks.
  • I used a stick beater bouncing up and down gently to add air.
  • Gently fold in Almond flour until incorporated.
  • Rinse fresh fillet, then pat fillet dry and season with salt and pepper.
  • With spatula, coat one side of fillet with egg white mixture. Lay coated side down on skillet.
  • Top each fillet with more egg white mixture until fillet is totally encased with coating top and sides.
  • Bake 9 - 11 minutes until egg white mixture is starting to brown.
  • Remove from oven and serve on a bed of butterhead lettuce dressed with Sugar Free Raspberry vinaigrette.
  • Orange Sauce: Mix marmelade, butter, parsley and red pepper flakes together in small bowl and microwave for 30-60 seconds, stir well.

  1. My son and I made this recipe together and it was Great! I think the best fish recipe I ever had. The only thing we changed was we did not use sugar free marmalade. If I owned a restaraunt this would so be on the menu.
