Last night, I made this quick and simple dinner of baked tilapia with pumpkin seed crust.  It takes just minutes to prepare and is quite delicious!

Ingredients

• 2 Fresh Talapia filets
• 2 Tbsp. Organic Tomato Sauce
• 1/2 Red Onion, chopped
• 1/3 cup Pumpkin Seeds
• 1/4 cup Bran Crumbs
• 1/2 ripe Avocado, mashed
• Dash of NuSalt and Pepper, to taste
• Dash of chili powder
• Handful of Fresh Cilantro, chopped
• Handful of Fresh Basil, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups Quinoa, cooked
• Lemon wedges, juice for topping
• Parchment Paper

Directions

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Combine bran, pumpkin seeds, fresh cilantro, avocado, tomato sauce, red onion, fresh basil, chili powder, Nu-Salt and pepper in a food processor; blend until mixture is the consistency of paste.
• Spoon a thick layer of the pumpkin seed mixture on top of each tilapia fillet.
• Lay a large piece of parchment paper atop a baking sheet.  Place each tilapia fillet atop the parchment paper.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
• Remove tilapia fillets from the oven and unwrap parchment paper.
• Serve each fillet over a bed of cooked quinoa with a squeeze of fresh lemon.
• Enjoy!
