SPICY BAKED TILAPIA

I found this recipe on the back of a Market Pantry tilapia package, and fell in love. This is a great recipe for a delicious, spicy and crunchy quick meal. Note: add more pepper to make spicier, but consider using frosted corn flakes to help counteract the zing!

SPICY BAKED TILAPIA AND TOMATOES



Spicy Baked Tilapia and Tomatoes image

This is a recipe that my wife created and I simply LOVE! This has become one of our two top favorite fish recipes ever. It is a little spicy, and that can be adjusted as desired. But this one is never fishy, and is a nice blend of seafood and Mexican-style food. We always make this with frozen or fresh tilapia, but you could substitute any light, thin white fish fillet.
