Almond Crusted Tilapia

I made this recipe the other night and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Ingredients:
2 lemons
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tilapia fillets (6 oz each)
1/4 c sliced natural almonds
1 sm onion, chopped
1 bag (12 oz) trimmed fresh green beans
1 pkg (10oz) sliced white mushrooms
2 tbsp water

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. From 1 lemon, grate 1 teaspoon peel and squeeze 3 tablespoons juice; cut second lemon into wedges. In cup, mix lemon peel and 1 tablespoon juice, 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper.
2. Spray 13" by 9" glass baking dish with nonstick spray; place tilapia, dark side down in dish. Drizzle tilapia with lemon mixture; top with almonds, pressing them on. Bake 15 minutes or until tilapia turns opaque.
3. Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil on medium-high 1 minute. Add onion and cook 5 to 6 minutes or until golden, stirring occasionally. Stir in green beans, mushrooms, water, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper. Cook about 6 minutes or until most of liquid evaporates and green beans are tender-crisp. Toss with remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Serve bean mixture and lemon wedges with tilapia.



We really enjoyed this. It is lemony so if you don't like lemons, I wouldn't recommend you make this recipe. One of the lemons is just cut into lemon wedges to serve so you can get by with only one lemon. I got this recipe from Good Housekeeping which is now my favorite magazine. I'm kind of embarrassed about that.
