Tilapia With Cajun Seasoned Crumb Topping

Diana Rattray
Here's a spicy, tasty tilapia recipe. This is such an easy dish to prepare and bakes quickly. Serve this tilapia with rice or baked potatoes and vegetables or a tossed salad.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 to 6 tilapia fillets
  • 1 cup soft fresh bread crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • Pinch dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Dash black pepperImage ©:2007 Diana Rattray

Preparation:

Heat oven to 400°. Lightly grease a large shallow baking dish. Arrange fish fillets on the prepared baking pan. Brush with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter. Combine the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter with the bread crumbs and seasonings. Sprinkle the crumbs over the tilapia fillets.

Bake the fish fillets for 15 to 20 minutes, or until fish is cooked through. Fish will flake easily with a fork when done.

Carefully remove the fillets to plates with a spatula.
Serves 4.

"I found this recipe to be bland and way too ""bready."" I feel there are much better tilapia recipes that are just as simple. I did give this recipe 2 stars because it was indeed easy."
