Breading and baking fish is a healthy way to infuse flavor and keep
it moist. Tilapia is a mild white fish that pairs well with fresh
Italian herbs and packs healthy protein. The crust is a nutritious
combination of whole-wheat bread crumbs and almonds. Nuts like
almonds contain heart-healthy unsaturated fats, fiber and vitamin
E, which is being studied for its antioxidant properties.
