Spicy Baked Tilapia
The ingredient list is long but don’t be overwhelmed because you probably have most of the ingredients in your pantry. Serve with rice or mashed potatoes and vegetables. This spice mixture would also work well with chicken.
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS:
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon basil
3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
4 (4 ounce) tilapia filets
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons sliced green onions
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 tablespoon olive oil
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
2. In a small bowl combine the spices from the salt through the Italian seasoning and set it aside.
3. In a shallow container mix the bread crumbs, dried parsley and green onions.
4. Measure 4 tsp of the spice mix and sprinkle that all over the 4 fish filets.
5. Add the remaining spice mix to the bread crumbs, mixing well. Add the olive oil to the bread crumb mix, blending it in with your hands.
6. Dredge the fish in the breadcrumbs, coating well.
7. Shake off any excess breadcrumbs.
8. Place the fish on a baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.
9. Bake for 6 minutes.
10. Turn over and bake for 4 minutes.
11. Turn over again and bake until flaky, about 4 more minutes.
12. Serve immediately.
