Ingredients
1-one pound of Tilapia, fresh or frozen2-two tbsp. House-Autry Medium Hot Breader (or any brand of spicy fish breader, I find this one in Walmart)3-one tbsp. olive or canola oil4-two tsp. garlic fresh or jarred (can use roasted garlic instead)5-Smart Balance pump spray butter-at least 2 squirts per filet
1-Preheat oven to 375. If using frozen tilapia, defrost before preparing.
2-Spread oil in bottom of baking dish. (I use a 9x13 baker or a cookie sheet)
3-Prepare tilapia one at a time by: rinsing under cold water, spray each side with spray butter, sprinkle each side with breader, lay in baking dish. I sprinkle lightly on the kids' filets, due to the spicy-ness.
4-After all filets are in the pan, wash hands. Spread desired amount of garlic on top of each filet. I use the jarred minced garlic or roasted garlic & "throw" it on the filets with a spoon :)
5-Bake for 8-12 minutes or until fish flakes when pierced with a fork.
I serve this with black beans and rice. I use Vigo brand, they are in a bag together & I throw some sofrito & sazon in while it's cooking. If I cook them individually I use Vigo yellow rice & Goya black bean soup. I dice up some fresh tomato & onion for on top of the beans. This makes a delicious meal, try it!
