Description

Breaded in a garlic and herb blend of seasoning and bread crumbs, these baked tilapia fillets provide a quick and easy alternative to frying.

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.
