Description

Ingredients
•
cooking spray
•
6 tilapia fillets
•
1 cup garlic- and herb-seasoned bread crumbs
•
2 teaspoons garlic and herb seasoning (such as McCormick®)
•
1 teaspoon kosher salt
•
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•
2 tablespoons milk
•
1 large egg
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a shallow baking dish with cooking spray. Pat fish fillets dry.
2
Mix bread crumbs, seasoning, salt, and cayenne pepper together in a zip-top bag. Seal the bag and toss ingredients together in the sealed bag until thoroughly mixed.
3
Mix milk and egg together in a bowl. Place fillets, 1 at a time, into egg mixture, shaking off excess. Place into the zip-top bag, seal, and shake to coat evenly. Transfer fillets to the prepared baking dish.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until easily flaked with a fork, about 15 minutes. Turn on the oven's broiler and continue to cook for until edges are crisp, about 5 minutes more.
