Caramel Nut Granola Crusted Tilapia Recipe

1/2 cup Caramel Nut Granola Snacks (ground in a food processor is best)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup l buttermilk

1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)

3 tablespoons all purpose flour

4 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets

1 tablespoon oil, divided

lemon wedge

1. Combine the ground Granola, salt, garlic and pepper in a shallow dish.

2. Combine the buttermilk and hot sauce (such as Tabasco) in a medium bowl.

3. Place the flour in a third dish.

4. Dredge 1 fillet in flour, dip into buttermilk mixture, then into granola mixture. Repeat with remaining fillets.

5. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook 2 of the tilapia fillets for 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily.

6. Add remaining oil and cook additional 2 fillets.

7. Garnish with a lemon wedges.

Note: Similar to a pecan crusted tilapia, this great recipe has the added taste of the caramel from the Caramel Nut Granola to make this a perfect dish for a special occasion or a week night family meal.We also like to squeeze some lemon juice on the top and the sprinkle with a little sea salt when it is being served.
