HERB CRUSTED TILAPIA RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place cooking rack in the center of the oven. Get two pie plates or shallow casserole dishes or bowls and place them next to each other Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil - keep this near the pie plates Place lemon juice in one pie plate In the other pie plate, add the salt, pepper, Italian and Panko bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly. Place one piece of tilapia into the lemon juice and coat each side Move it to the bread crumb mixture and pat the bread crumbs onto each side of the fish, until it's well coated. Move the tilapia to the baking sheet. Repeat with the other fillet. Bake the tilapia for about 18-20 minutes or brown and crispy on top. I put mine under the broiler for about 1 minute after baking, just to get them a little extra crispy. Be careful though, because they can go from brown to burnt in a few seconds under the broiler. Fish is cooked through when internal temperature is 140 degrees F. Serve with some extra lemon juice squeezed over top and a few grates of lemon zest. Delicious accompanied by my Lemon Garlic Aioli Recipe. I added a little horseradish to the aioli to bump up the flavor, but that's optional. My easy Lemon Rice with Peas and Roasted Asparagus are perfect side dishes for a healthy and delicious meal! Enjoy! Recipe by: Diane Kometa
