Food anyone?

We don't always eat healthy (at the request of my husband) but I try to throw in a few meals every now and then. The following is a favorite of both of ours so I figured I would share it with the rest of you as well.

If you like fish I can promise you this will be a big hit.

Spicy Baked Tilapia

Ingredients

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon paprika

3/4 teaspoon onion powder

3/4 teaspoon dry mustard

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon basil

3/4 teaspoon italian seasoning

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

3 tablespoons sliced green onions (didn't have so i didn't use)

1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes

4 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets

Directions

1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

2
In a small bowl combine all of the spices, breadcrumbs, etc. (everything but the fish)

3. Coat the fish in the spice mixture. You can either do this by shaking in a bag or by dipping the fish in the bowl to coat it.

4
Shake off any excess.

5
Place the fish on a baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray (or us foil to cover the pan)

6
Bake for 6 minutes.

7
Turn over and bake for 4 minutes.

8
Turn over again and bake until flaky, about 4 more minutes.

9
Serve immediately.

I also served steamed brown rice, steamed broccoli, and steamed mushrooms. Micah at it all (even if i had to threaten him if he didn't eat his broccoli) Haha, he is not much of a veggie eater, but admits it was all very good.

The best part is: the fish is only about 200 Calories so if you serve it with healthy sides you have a yummy nutritious meal! Enjoy!!!
