📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2
Dip each tilapia filet into the almond-Parmigiano mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
3
Dip the filets into the beaten eggs, coating both sides. Then, place them back into the almond-Parmigiano mixture, pressing gently to create a second layer of crust on top of the first one. Ensure the filets are fully coated.

Bake in the preheated oven for about ⏱️ 20-25 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the fish is fully cooked. It should flake easily with a fork.
6
While the tilapia is baking, prepare the mustard cheese sauce. Combine the Dijon mustard, capers, anchovy fillets, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Gradually add cream cheese and continue mixing. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
