Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoon(s) olive oil, extra virgin
2 or 3 - tilapia fillets, rinse and pat dry
1/2 cup(s) butter, melted (if watching salt, use unsalted butter)
2 tablespoon(s) fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
1 cup(s) panko bread crumbs, plain
3/4 cup(s) parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon(s) ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt, optional (if watching salt, don't add)
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) dry mustard
3/4 teaspoon(s) nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon(s) ginger powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) paprika
1/2 teaspoon(s) crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Add olive oil to oven safe skillet. I used a 10-inch iron skillett. Set aside until ready to heat.
Rinse fish fillets, pat dry; set aside.
Melt butter, add lemon just and garlic powder; mix well and pour into a bowl or pan large enough to accomodate a single fish fillet. I used a loaf pan.
In another bowl or pan combine the Panko bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, pepper, salt (omit if watching salt intake), dry mustard, nutmeg, ginger, paprika, and crushed red pepper; mix well. I used a loaf pan.
Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat (on top of stove). Be careful to not over heat. Just be sure you get it hot enough to fry.
Dip fillets one at a time in butter mixture and then in dry breading mixture.
Place fillets in hot oil and fry until bottom is browned; flip and add additional (dry) breading mixture to tops of fillet; drizzle with remaining butter, lemon and garlic mixture.
Place skillet in oven and bake for 11 to 12 minutes.
