Pretzel Encrusted Tilapia
- 8 ounces, weight Pretzels
- 1/2 cups Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cups Spicy Brown Mustard
- 2 pounds Tilapia Fish Fillets
- 1.
- Prepare a baking pan by spraying it with cooking spray.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- 2.
- In a food processor, pulse pretzels until they are close to breadcrumb consistency.
- Place crumbs in a shallow dish or bowl (you should have enough room to lay a piece of fish in the crumbs without too much crowding).
- 3.
- In a bowl, combine mayonnaise and mustard.
- 4.
- Take a fillet and using a basting brush, coat one side of the fish with the mayonnaise/mustard mix.
- Place fish, mayonnaise/mustard side DOWN, into crushed pretzels.
- Press fish down slightly, if necessary, to help the crumbs adhere.
- Then, with fish still resting in the crushed pretzels, carefully coat the top side of the fish with the mayonnaise/mustard mix.
- Turn fish over so the side that was just covered with mayo/mustard mix is now being coated with pretzels.
- Press fish down slight (if necessary) to help pretzel crumbs adhere to this second side.
- 5.
- Remove fillet from crumbs and place fish on the baking pan.
- Repeat with remaining fillets.
- Give a light spray of cooking spray to the tops of the fish that are on the baking pan.
- 6.
- Bake at 425 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until the thickest part is opaque and flakes easily.
- Note: be sure to watch how long it takes to cook depends on how thick your fish is.
- You could also check the temperature in the thickest part of the fish with a meat thermometer.
- It should have an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
