Panko is a Japanese bread crumb, coarser than regular breadcrumbs. It makes a delicious cruncy coating for baked tilapia that is lightly seasoned with butter and lemon.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

6 tilapia fillets, rinsed & patted dry
1/2 cup melted margarine
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup unseasoned panko
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
lemon wedge

Directions

1
Heat oven to 375%. Spray a baking pan lightly with cooking oil.
2
In a shallow dish, combine melted margarine, garlic powder, and lemon juice. In a seperate shallow dish, combine panko and Old Bay seasoning.
3
Dip each filet in butter mixture, then roll well in the panko mixture. Place filets in a single layer onto prepared pan.
4
Press any remaining panko mixture onto tops of filets.
5
Bake 12-14 minutes, until flaky. Serve with lemon wedges.

This was an easy and delicious way to cook tilapia! My fillets took 15 minutes to bake; I served with asparagus and rice. I followed reviewers suggestions and drizzled the remaining butter mixture over the fish. My DH and 2 DS's cleaned their plates; DS's don't always do that with fish.

We love tilapia and panko so this was a sure-to-be winner. I upped the seasonings, using 1/2 tsp Old Bay in the margarine/lemon juice mixture as well as in the coating. I did have quite a bit of margarine left so I drizzled some over the fillets before baking. Mine were perfectly flaky and crisp after 12 minutes convection bake time. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Yummy! I had 3 large fillets and put twice as much Old Bay in with the panko as suggested by otheres. I dipped the fillets in the breading, then the butter, and then the breading again. My daughter said that is the only fish that she likes and dh said he liked it and he doesn't care for fish. Thanks for the great recipe, Kizzikate!
