Yummy Crispy Baked Fish

Easy and healthier way to get crispy tasty fish. We have used mostly mild whitefish like tilapia with great results. Don’t be scared by the number of ingredients—it is mostly spices and herbs. Please adjust the spices, especially salt, to your taste.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb tilapia fillet

For the Milk mixture:

• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vinegar

For the Breading:

• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, adjust to your taste

For the Garnish:

Method:

1. Mix milk, vinegar and mustard and let set for 15 minutes. This will make a mustardy, buttermilky dressing to coat the fish.
2. In a separate bowl mix cornmeal with all the seasonings.
3. Dip fish fillets in the milk mixture and then in the cornbread mixture.
4. Spray broiling pan with cooking spray or brush with a little olive oil.
5. Place fillets on prepared pan and place pan under broiler 4 inches from heat.
