Baked Tilapia

1

lb

Tilapia fish (serves about 4 people)

1/2

cup

seasoned Italian Style croutons, crushed

1/4

cup

parmesan cheese, grated

garlic powder

sea salt

melted butter (approx 1 tsp per serving)

1

If Tilapia is frozen, thaw first in a Ziplock Baggie in a large bowl of cold water, approx 20 minutes. Blot any excess moisture off fish with paper towel.

2

Mix together croutons and parmesan cheese, and put on a plate for dipping fish.

3

Sprinkle each fish lightly with sea salt and garlic powder (both sides). Brush melted butter on the top side of each piece, then dip into the crouton/parmesan cheese mixture, coating both sides. Put on a foil-lined baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

4

Bake approx 10-11 minutes at 400° or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Any excess crumb mixture can be put into a Ziplock baggie and then into freezer for future use. Recommended Crouton brand is Rothbury Farms, which can be found at Walmart.
