If you are looking for a simple, quick and delicious meal look no further. Coconut and almonds pair wonderfully with flakey tilapia. A healthy and balanced meal for lunch, dinner and perfect for Project Lunch Box too! I paired it with my tasty Roasted Asparagus with Gruyére and Smoked Paprika.
You can also take your crusted tilapia on a picnic.
Must healthier than take-out fried chicken….ya know?!

I love coconut so this is right up my alley. I also really enjoy nut-crusted fish. SO good. This recipe is a keeper!
I love your attitude! Personally I tend to try to get OUT of wearing makeup whenever possible, but I love that you embrace your makeup bag and are proud of it!! 🙂
Um……YUM girl! This looks fantastic and so summery 🙂 Let’s get together soon. Stumbled for you!
I love tilapia! What a nice idea. Perfect with asparagus.
Cheers,
Rosa
Love what you’ve done with the FRESH TOPICS window…looks soo great!
I love that coating on your fish, I got to try doing this at home. I just love coconut.
Have a great weekend ahead!

Wow – that looks delicious!!! Such great flavors. I have to make this — even the baby loves fish, she would devour this 🙂
I love hearing that even the baby loves her fish. Way to go girl getting her eating the good stuff!!
Yum! We’re always looking for new ways to prepare tilapia that are simple and healthy. I love the versatility of this fish! (well really, any white fish of course.) Sounds great, M!
I have some tilapia in the freezer – I think this weekend will be the perfect time for me to thaw it out and try this recipe!
Have fun at Camp Blogaway!
Oh, come on!
That is my kind of picnic! YUM. Excellent hot or cold. Healthy, flavourful – and simply gorgeous to look at. My, oh, my – have things changed since the day of the fried chicken and potato salad with apple pie picnic. Those really were the good old days. You could afford to eat it because you never sat still. Now, a picnic like that would be a heart attack on a plate. I am so happy that I was a child born before the computer age. I played outside and learned to amuse myself with my own imagination. I still remember the thrill of the game. Any game. I love my computer now – but, everything is different….starting with picnics!
🙂

it’s well documented that i don’t like fish. however, that said, if ever i would give it a try, it’d be prepared just like this. LOVE the coconut!
I just had cod last night, and I feel like this recipe might work for that as well. Looks like a good one. Have fun at the blogger event!!
YUM….I never made anything with coconut! I will try to make it next week…
Have fun at your bootcamp girl!
I can imagine how great this will taste! Tilapia is one of my favorites. No frying makes this such a healthy dish.
Marla, just a quick note to let you know that I’ve nominated you for a sunshine award on my blog. I really do enjoy your recipes and all the info that you provide. Have a great weekend!
What a great way to add coconut to fish recipes, sounds tasty! Have fun this weekend, I bet it will be a great time.
we usually make fish covered with panko and some kind of nut or seed but I have never thought to use coconut..great idea…have fun at camp blog away

Yum! Love the Coconut Almond Crusted Tilapia Recipe!!!
Have Fun at Camp Blogaway!!! Next time take me with you!!! 🙂
We LOVE coconut in our house and I’m always looking for new tilapia recipes. Totally gonna make this. Thanks Marla!
(and I’m sorta kicking myself for not signing up for camp blogaway…anxious to here all about it)
What a pretty, healthy dish! I’m very envious of your trip to Camp Blogaway. Have a great time!
I’m with you. Me and my eyeliner never go anywhere without each other. We are joined at the hip. Have fun on your blogging trip!
This meal looks delicious. I’ve made coconut-crusted chicken before but I think it would be much better on tilapia.
Blog camp! Oh, I can’t wait to see and read all about this experience! I guess I didn’t know blogging was your full-time job, either. Jealous 🙂
The tilapia looks wonderful! I’ll be saving the recipe for a night my hubby isn’t home. He doesn’t like coconut 🙁 But it look SO good!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend away, sweetie! This tilapia recipe looks incredible — the coconut in the crust is amazing!
This looks wonderful. I have never tried tilapia. I think my family would like it. Thanks!
I can’t believe it’s MONDAY already! Because of the time difference and traveling, I’ve lost a whole weekend!
It’s gonna be a while till I get to cook…but holy tilapia this is going on my bookmarked folder! MUST MUST MUST make this! 😀
I love that you love tiliapia. I love tilapia too. I also think the coconut crust just makes sense here. It was great meeting you at camp, now I can put a beautiful face and a vivacious personality to all the great food you present here. GREG
LOVE that first photo – so dramatic!
Now this would be perfect for the season. Looks great!
I’m always looking for something new to do with tilapia. This looks great!
Hi Valerie! So glad you likey…. Hope you get to try this recipe soon 🙂
Add in about 1/2 tsp. curry powder. It complements the coconut flavor nicely. Then, when you are about to serve the fish, squeeze some lemon juice over the fish. It gives it a beautiful, almost Thai flavor.
Awesome idea! I love curry powder. It does pair great with coconut. Thanks for sharing & I will try this next time 🙂
I made this tonight with a side of roasted asparagus and it was delicious! I normally don’t like fish, but my household does! I saw this recipe and thought I would try it, in hopes that I could force it down. So glad I made it! I didn’t have to force it at all. It was perfect! I will definitely make this again.
Great!! Thanks so much for sharing your dinner success 🙂
