Baked Parmesan Tilapia

i've always been a bit skeptical of cooking fish at home...just seems like it could go wrong in so many ways. but after simplifying a similar recipe, i am hooked {no pun intended}.

i suggest keeping frozen tilapia in the freezer so you can throw this together in a cinch!

*costco, publix & sams have great frozen tilapia

• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/3 cup parmesan cheese

1. spray a cooking sheet with cooking spray & pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.

2. if tilapia is frozen, thaw. place on baking sheet & season with salt & pepper. set aside.

3. in a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs, butter, olive oil, salt & garlic salt. heat in microwave for 5 seconds to melt butter. stir.
