Oven Fried Tilapia

Oven Fried Tilapia

These flavorful fish fillets will be a big hit, and they're very easy to prepare and bake. I like dry bread crumbs or corn flake crumbs, but you could also use panko crumbs for the crispiest coating.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 large egg, slightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 4 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 3/4 cup crushed corn flakes or bread crumbs
• 1 to 1 1/2 pounds tilapia fillets

Instructions:

Heat the oven to 350°.

Put the butter in a 13x9-inch baking pan; put in the oven to melt.

In a shallow bowl, combine the egg, water, and lemon juice; blend well.

In another shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and onion powder.

In another shallow bowl, put the crumbs.

Coat each tilapia fillet with the flour mixture, dip in the egg mixture, then coat with the crumbs. Arrange the coated fillets on the baking sheet; turning to coat lightly with the butter.

Bake for 12 to 16 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Serves 4.
