4/30/2013 Quinoa Crusted Tilapia & Mango Avo SalsaI've always loved a crispy, crusted Tilapia or Mahi Mahi and whenever I see it a nut-crusted fish option on a menu, I'm always tempted to order it. But I end up refraining because it's usually crusted in flour (not just nuts) and fried in poor-quality oils. So, I decided it was time to figure out how to make a crunchy fish that's full of clean and healthy ingredients, and I'm happy to report that I finally did it! This recipe is super flavorful, and pairing it with the mango-avocado salsa gives it a nice, juicy twist. Cooking it on the stove-top with coconut oil really adds to the flavor and gives the quinoa a perfectly crispy texture. Ingredients
2 Tilapia fillets - cut in half widthwise (or any other flaky white fish) 1/4 cup ground flaxmeal / flaxseeds 2 eggs 1/2 cup cooked quinoa, room temperature 2 tbsp coconut oil Salt & pepper to taste Mango-Avocado Salsa 1/2 avocado 1/3 cup diced mango 1/3 cup chopped cherry tomatoes 1 diced shallot 1/4 cup chopped cilantro Juice of 1/2 lemon Salt & pepper Serves 2.
I hope you all love this recipe as much as I do!

You mention the calorie count of the macadamia-crusted tilapia but not the count for your recipe. Have any idea what it is?
