Almond Crusted Tilapia with Caper Sauce
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
Canola oil cooking spray
1/2 cup corn flake crumbs
1/4 cup almond flour
¼ cup nutritional yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

1 pound fish of choice

INGREDIENTS- Caper sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp dry dill
2 tablespoons drained capers

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice


Preheat the oven to 400 or use an air fryer. Line a baking sheet with foil. Set a wire rack on the baking sheet and coat it with cooking spray.

Mix corn flake crumbles, almond flour, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder, dry mustard, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl.

Whisk egg whites in a second shallow dish.

Cut your fish into strips.

Add fish to egg whites. Turn to coat.

Transfer each tender to the almond mixture; turn to coat evenly.

(Discard any remaining egg white and almond mixture.)

Place the tenders on a sheet pan with cooking spray.

Bake the fish until golden brown and crispy 20 to 25 minutes.

Honey Garlic Shrimp
Serves 4

⅓ cup honey
¼ cup coconut aminos
4 garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound raw shrimp peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 green onion thinly sliced

Instructions
In a small bowl, stir together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes.

Place the shrimp into a separate bowl and pour 1/3 of the sauce on top. Toss to coat the shrimp, then marinate for 15-20 minutes.

Heat the oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Add the shrimp (discarding any leftover marinade) and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until pink and just barely cooked through.

Pour the remaining 2/3 sauce into the pan and bring to a simmer, stirring with the shrimp as it slightly reduces and warms through, for about a minute.

Turn off the heat, stir in the sesame seeds, and top with sliced green onions before serving.

Serve by itself or over rice.
