Pumpkin Seed Encrusted Baked Tilapia
This is a great recipe when you don’t know what to do with pumpkin seeds. I served this with roasted broccoli rabe but this would also be great with rice with spinach, or roasted broccoli with smashed garlic. Raw pumpkin seeds are everywhere this time of year. My toddler loves to snack on them and I feel good knowing she is having a healthy snack packed with vitamins, iron and minerals. They also add a wonderful nutty texture and flavor to the fish. I simply grind them and toss them with panko and seasoning, then top my fish, drizzle a little oil and bake. You can use this for almost any light, white fish. I had some pumpkin seeds left over from my pumpkin bread but you could swap the pumpkin seeds with any nut you have on hand, I think pistachios would also be great.
