Easy and healthier way to get crispy tasty fish. NOTE: you MUST use the right pan!

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb tilapia fillets or 1 lb other mild white fish
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup cornmeal or 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, adjust to your taste
lemon wedge

Steps:

  • Mix milk, vinegar and mustard and let set for 15 minutes. This will make a mustardy, buttermilky dressing to coat the fish.
  • In a separate bowl mix cornmeal or panko with all the seasonings.
  • Dip fish fillets in the milk mixture and then in the dry mixture.
  • Spray broiling pan with cooking spray or brush with a little olive oil.
  • Place fillets on prepared pan and place pan under broiler 4 inches from heat.
  • Broil for 4 minutes per side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. (Thicker filets will take longer. This timing is for tilapia)
  • Serve with lemon wedges if desired.
