Baked Tilapia With Lots of Spice
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp paprika
3/4 tsp onion powder
3/4 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp basil
4 (4 oz.) tilapia fillets
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 egg

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a small bowl combine the spices from the salt through basil and set it aside. In a shallow container mix the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Measure 4 tsp of the spice mix and sprinkle that all over the 4 fish fillets. Add the remaining spice mix to the bread crumbs, mixing well. Dip the fillet in the egg and dredge the fish in the breadcrumbs, coating well. Shake off any excess breadcrumbs. Place the fish on a foil lined cookie sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake for 6 minutes. Turn over and bake for 4 minutes. Turn over again and bake until flaky, about 4 more minutes. Serve immediately.

My notes: I altered the recipe a little bit from the
original. Tartar sauce would make a good addition, neither of us our big fans of it though. Seth said it would be good with some hot sauce. He said the coating reminded him of what he's had on catfish in the past.
