Pecan Crusted Tilapia

Ingredients
1/2 cup pecan pieces
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup reduced-fat milk
1 egg (or 1/4 cup egg substitute)
1 1/2 pounds tilapia fillets
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 cup canola oil

Steps
1. Chop pecans finely (like coarse bread crumbs); combine with bread crumbs in medium bowl. Place flour in second medium bowl. Blend milk and egg together in third medium bowl.
2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium 1–2 minutes. Sprinkle both sides of fish with seasoned salt.
3. Dip fillets in flour (coating both sides) then dip into egg mixture (allowing excess to drip off). Finally, dip into pecan mixture. Wash hands.
4. Place oil in pan; swirl to coat. Add fish (wash hands) and cook 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden. Serve.
