Hi Ruth,

I have a very simple, but great recipe for tilapia. Coat the fish with mustard. Dip in Panko (Japanese style) breadcrumbs, then saute in a skillet for about 2.5 min on each side. Enjoy!

I really like this recipe.Cook your talipia in the micro or in a pan with a little olive oil or water.Put McCormicks Steak Seasoning on both sides.When finished cooking flake the fish and add salsa and green chili. May add a little cheese, fat free sour cream,avacado, etc.This recipes can be eaten cold or on salad or in a wrap .

I bake my tilapia in tinfoil @350 for 20-30 min, depending on the amount of fish. Before baking, I also season the fish with a tiny amount of butter, lemon juice, old bay, garlic powder and dill. yum.
