Crispy Asiago Tilapia

Fish night redo!  My last post was also a fish post but since I failed miserably at creating any sort of workable recipe this was my redo attempt.  I had to buy fish this time though (Dad, I hope you aren't reading this.  I know it is sacrilege to BUY fish). 


Crispy Asiago Tilapia

Ingredients

2 Tilapia Fillets
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumb (I ran out of my usual home-made whole wheat so I had to use the store bought kind this time)
1/4 cup grated fresh Asiago cheese
Tony Cachere's Cajun seasoning (or whatever seasoning blend you like), to taste
EVOO spray
1 lime

Directions

1. Preheat the broiler and set the rack about four levels down.

2. Season the tilapia and then create a fish assembly line. 

  • Dish 1: beat the milk and egg together,


  • dish 2: bread crumb and cheese,


  • baking pan covered in foil and sprayed with EVOO.

3. Dip both sides of the fish in the egg mixture, then the bread crumb then place on the prepared pan.  Spray the top of the fish with EVOO spray.

4. Broil 16 minutes (time may vary according to the size of the fish) and flip half way through and spray the top with EVOO again.

5. When cooking is complete slice the lime and squeeze one half over each fillet.  Serve with steamed veggies.
