Opening the refrigerator 1 hour before dinner, I worked on using things I had leftover from previous meals.  The macadamia nut breading mixture and the quinoa were waiting in the refrigerator.  When I am putting together dinner I know what my protein will be, but sometimes not really how I will prepare it or what sides will accompany it.  It depends on what is in my refrigerator at any given time.  If you do this you will keep your refrigerator cleared out of those mystery containers. Please remember that my recipes are gluten free.

Macadamia Nut Crusted Tilapia

Ingredients:

1 pound tilapia
¼ -½ cup Coconut water
1 TBS Raw Organic Agave
Corn starch
Macadamia Nut Breading
2 tsp Virgin Coconut Oil
1 tsp Organic Canola Oil

Directions:

Set out your 3 containers for coating the fish.  The cornstarch in the first one, the blended coconut water and agave in the second and the macadamia nut breading in the third container.  With the liquid step if you want it to be thicker reverse the portions of agave to coconut water.

Dust the fish with corn starch; dip in liquid, press into nut mixture.  Carefully place into pan, heated on medium high with oil.  When brown on one side turn.  Tilapia is a thin fish so this will not take long.
