Last night I got down with Tilapia fillets.
The wife was headed out of town for a few days, so I wanted a good send-off dinner.
First step, thaw frozen Tilapia (purchased in a bulk bag but in individual packets.)
Preheat oven to 425 F.
Dredge fillets in a mix of seasoned bread crumbs (I used crushed bits of unused Thanksgiving stuffing mix), and grated Parmesan cheese until well coated.
Sprinkle dried cayenne powder, black pepper, rosemary, and Italian seasonings on top of each.
Bake for twelve minutes on a buttered, foil-lined cookie sheet.
Remove and drizzle lime juice on fillets before serving.
The coating, aside from adding flavor, will protect the fillets from scorching or drying out, keeping them moist and steamy.
I leaned just a tad heavy on the cayenne, hence the moniker, "Fire Fish" for this dish.
