I love pecan-crusted fish. This is a light recipe, but you can serve it with a kicked-up tartar sauce as well.

Wonderful! I substituted ground oatmeal for the breadcrumbs, doubled the pecans, and skipped the hot sauce. Delicious!

    I have yet to find a tilapia dish that I liked...until now! This was fabulous! Even my kids (1, 3, & 6 yrs. old) loved it. Will certainly make again. Thanks for a great recipe!

    Fantastic tilapia dish! We made it today, following the recipe exactly, and all of us voted this a "keeper." Yum!

    We are trying to clean out our freezers and cabinets because we are moving. So I had taken some tilapia fillets out to defrost today and then went looking for a way to use them. When I came across this recipe I realized it was a great way to use up the extra pecans I had frozen! I used skim milk to which I added some lemon juice and whole wheat pastry flour. I left off the hot sauce because my kids won't eat it. I also used cooking spray instead of the oil. This had lovely flavor. I think it would be creamier with the buttermilk, though. A lovely quick meal. And because I had just defrosted all the fish I had, I used 5 fillets with no problem and could have covered 1 more.
