Panko-Crusted Tilapia
- 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme, dried
- 1 dash cayenne (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 16 ounces tilapia fillets (skinless)
- 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- nonstick cooking spray
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a shallow bowl, mix panko, garlic, thyme, cayenne, and a generous pinch of both salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to panko mixture, mixing with fingers so that breadcrumbs are evenly coated. Set aside.
- Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Place tilapia fillets on baking sheet at least 1 inch apart. Spread 1/2 tsp dijon mustard (or more to taste) evenly on each fillet. Press panko mixture on top of the mustard, splitting the panko evenly among the four fillets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until fish is cooked through and will flake with a fork.
