Crunchy Baked Tilapia

I love seafood, but Kevin is not a huge fan. This is a recipe he actually really likes though -- the fish is mild tasting and the panko breadcrumbs & seasonings make it a yummy meal. Even Seth will eat it!

1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1/2 tablespoon dried parsley
fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese or asiago cheese, grated
2-3 tilapia (or other mild white fish) fillets

Preheat oven to 400°F

Melt butter in shallow pie dish; set aside.

In another shallow dish, mix cracker crumbs, seasoning and spices.

Dry fillets and dredge in butter; then, in crumb-seasonings mixture.

Place on oil-sprayed foil-lined baking sheet and distribute remaining crumbs on tops of fillets.

Drizzle remaining melted butter over crumbs.

Sprinkle each with grated cheese.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, until fish flakes easily and topping is golden.
