A delightful tilapia dish featuring a crispy herb crust and a sweet onion relish, perfect for a flavorful dinner.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Cut 4 pieces of aluminum foil, each about 7 inches long. Lightly coat the bottom of each piece with olive oil.
Using foil helps to lock in the flavors and moisture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced onions with balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to coat the onions evenly.
Mixing thoroughly ensures the onions are evenly flavored.
Divide the onion mixture evenly among the foil pieces. Fold the foil to create sealed packets and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, then carefully open the packets and broil for 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 425°F (220°C).
Broiling adds a slight caramelization to the onions for enhanced flavor.
In another bowl, mix the ground almonds with lemon zest and a pinch of salt.
Adding lemon zest to the crust gives it a refreshing flavor.
Season each tilapia fillet on both sides with garlic powder and lemon pepper. Place one fillet in each foil packet on top of the cooked onions. Top with the almond mixture and drizzle with olive oil. Seal the packets and bake for 18-20 minutes. Open the packets and broil for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Broiling at the end ensures a crispy crust.
Garnish with chopped basil, parsley, lemon zest, and a drizzle of fresh lemon juice before serving.
Fresh herbs and lemon juice brighten the dish and enhance its presentation.
