Baked Tilapia

Makes: 4 servings
Prep: 5 minutes
Bake: at 425 for 15 minutes and then broil it to add a little crunch and color for a minute or two, if needed.

18 Ritz crackers
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon dried basil
4 tilapia fillets, about 1 1/2 pounds total
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (If you don't like mustard do not add, it's great either way!)
1/4 teaspon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Lemon wedges, optional
Jarred tartar sauce, optional

1. Heat oven to 425. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or butter.

2. Crush crackers in a plastic bag. Add cheese, oil and basil. Shake to combine.

3. Place tilapia on prepared baking sheet. Brush top side of each piece with about 1/2 teaspoon of the mustard and season with the salt and pepper. Press the cracker mixture onto the mustard-coated side of the fillets.

4. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce, if desired.

Kyle isn't a big fan of fish, but I made this recipe and he just loves it.
