Almond crusted tilapia and roasted asparagus

Here's an easy, inexpensive, and HEALTHY dinner idea :) This can be done with any type of fish or even chicken. Roasted asparagus is a favorite in our house, we eat it atleast once a week. They're loaded with 

nutrients, antioxidants and amino acid asparagine. 

fish fillets

1 cup almonds - any type will do, try to stay away from salted

1-2 cloves of garlic

1 egg

1tbsp water

salt & pepper, other spices

Line a baking pan with foil and preheat oven to 375. In a food processor or blender pulse a few times to crush the almonds and garlic (you dont want them too large, they wont stay on the fish, but you dont want them completely ground either). If you dont have either machines you can buy crushed almonds at the store and add minced garlic OR cursh them yourself using a large ziplock bag and a rolling pin. Whisk together egg and water. Season fish and dip into egg wash then into almond mixture. Bake for about 15-20min. 

Roasted Asparagus

Fresh Asparagus - use half the bundle if you wont eat the whole thing

a few tbsp of minced garlic

1-2 tbsp olive oil

pepper, onion powder, seasoning of your liking :)

Rinse the asparagus and place on a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, garlic and seasoning. Bake at 375 for about 10min. Make sure you keep an eye on them, if you cook them too long they will get mussy and stringy. You still want them to be slightly firm.
