Ingredients
- 2 tilapia fillets, cut into pieces (cod or sole would work well here, too)
- 1 c. flour (I used all purpose)
- 1 c. cornmeal
- 2 eggs, beaten or 1 c. egg beaters
- 2 tbsp old bay seasoning, divided, plus more for sprinkling
- 1 tsp garlic powder with dried parsley (from world market, we use it in almost everything)
- salt and pepper
Directions
-
preheat oven to 350 degrees
-
Set up an assembly line with 3 bowls for breading the fish. In the first bowl, combine the flour, 1 tbsp old bay seasoning, salt, and pepper, in the second, the eggs or egg beaters, and in the third, the cornmeal with 1 tbsp old bay and the garlic powder.
-
Cut the tilapia into pieces and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Dredge the tilapia pieces in the flour first, the egg second, and the cornmeal third. Use one hand to coat the fish in the flour and cornmeal and the other hand to coat the fish in the egg. Ensure all sides of the fish are coated in each mixture before moving on to the next. Sprinkle with more old bay.
-
Place the breaded fish on the greased cookie sheet (or, you could place the fish on a wire rack on a cookie sheet and not have to flip it during cooking). Mist the fish with more spray if you like, this will create more browning during the baking. Cook the fish for approx 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. I cooked mine for 12 minutes on one side and 4 minutes on the second side in a counter-top convection oven.
-
Serve with lemon wedges.
