Parmesan Crusted Tilapia

PARMESAN CRUSTED TILAPIA
Ingredients:
3 - 4 tilapia fillets
1 T. lemon juice
1/4 c. bread crumbs salt
1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese pepper
1 T. Italian seasoning olive oil
1 tsp. garlic powder
Preparation:
Thaw and wash tilapia fillets if frozen. Pat dry on paper towels. Combine breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder on a plate, mixing well. Pour the lemon juice on a different plate. Working one at a time, place a fillet on the plate with the lemon juice, sprinkle with desired amount of kosher salt, black pepper, and additional garlic powder. Turn the fillet over to coat the other side. Dredge fillet in the parmesan mixture, patting it all over to coat. Place in an oiled baking dish; repeat with remaining fillets. Sprinkle a little lemon juice over fillets and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Bake at 425° for about 20 minutes or until they easily flake with a fork and edges are browning.

We had these for dinner last night along with some parmesan rice and steamed veggies. Very filling meal and so good for you!
