Ingredients
1 1/3 cups favorite spaghetti sauce1 garlic clove, minced3 tablespoons half & halfFour 4-5 ounce Tilapia fillets1/2 cup flour1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper1 egg, beaten1 1/2 cups Panko crumbs1 teaspoon salt-free Italian SeasoningFreshly grated Parmesan
Directions
In a medium sauce pan, over medium-low heat, bring the sauce and garlic to a simmer. Stirring occasionally, allow to cook until reduced by half. The sauce will become dark red and thick. Stir in the cream and heat through. Keep warm.

Rinse and dry the tilapia fillets and set aside.

In three pie plates or shallow dishes, place the flour, salt and pepper in one, the beaten egg in another, and the crumbs mixed with the seasoning in the third. Coat each fillet with the flour mixture, dip in egg until covered, and then press on the crumbs.

Heat a frying pan on medium to medium-high heat until very hot. (Will depend on YOUR stove. Mine is very hot on medium.) Add a little olive oil and fry the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy-golden and fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove to a platter and spoon the sauce over. Garnish with Parmesan. Makes 4 servings.
