Ingredients

  • 4 tilapia fillets, about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds
  • 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons honey Dijon mustard or Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
  • Dash pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method

  • Heat oven to 400°. Lightly grease a large shallow baking dish or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Combine the mayonnaise and mustard; rub the mixture over the tilapia fillets.
  • In a food processor, combine the panko and fine bread crumbs, paprika, parsley, pepper, onion powder, and salt. Pulse 4 to 6 times to combine. Pour bread crumb mixture into a wide, shallow bowl. Dip the coated fillets in the mixture, turning to coat both sides.
  • Arrange the coated fillets in the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake the fish fillets for 15 to 18 minutes, or until fish is cooked through. The time depends on thickness of the fillets. Fish will flake easily with a fork when done.
  • Carefully remove the fillets to plates with a spatula.
