Baked Tilapia

April 13th, 2008 by Janene

I made this recipe for lunch today and it was delicious (and easy)!

Ingredients:

18 Ritz crackers (I used whole wheat Ritz crackers)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 TBsp olive oil
¾ teaspoon dried basil
4 tilapia fillets, about 1 ½ pounds total
2 TBsp Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
Lemon wedges

Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Crush crackers in a plastic bag. Add cheese, oil and basil. Shake to combine.
  3. Place tilapia on prepared baking sheet. Brush top side of each piece with about ½ tablespoon of the mustard and season with salt and pepper. Press the cracker mixture onto the mustard-coated side of the fillets.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with lemon wedges.

Enjoy!

PS Even if you don’t like fish, you should try this recipe. Tilapia doesn’t have a very fishy taste. Joey liked this recipe and he says he’s not a “fish person”.
