Crunchy Lime Tilapia with Almonds

I think tilapia is one of the easiest fish to cook. I like to buy the frozen fillets b/c they keep for a long time and thaw very quickly. Tilapia seems to be the least fishy smelling and tasting fish there is so I keep some on hand most of the time.

1 pound Tilapia fillets
2 cups Rice Krispies (crushed to about 1 cup)
1/4 cup chopped almonds
1 tbsp parsley
1/4 cup flour
2 egg whites
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
cooking spray

Directions
1. In one bowl mix together Rice Krispies, almonds and parsley
2. In another bowl mix egg whites, lime juice, salt, pepper and ginger
3. Dredge fish fillets with flour, dip into egg/lime mixture and press into Rice Krispies. Press crumbs on firmly so the fish gets well coated.
4. Place fish on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Spray a little more cooking spray on top of the fish. Bake at 400F for about 15 minutes, turning halfway, until browned and cooked through.
5. I served this with a Chipotle Ranch Sauce (Ranch mixed with smoked chipotle sauce)

I love this recipe, it's delicious! I served it with a simple seasoned parmesan rice.
