Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Tilapia fillets about 4 oz. each
  • ½ cup Wheat Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Paprika
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice:
  • 1 tablespoon Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Extra-light Olive Oil
  • Cooking spray

Method
 

  1. First, line a half sheet pan with parchment paper and brush two tablespoons of olive oil over the pan. Next, pour the milk and lemon juice in a medium bowl and set that aside.
  2. Make the coating by combining the wheat flour, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper and sea salt.
  3. Take a piece of tilapia, dip it into the milk and lemon juice and then coat it with the flour mixture.
  4. Next rub it into the oil-coated parchment paper, flip and then rub some more.
  5. Spray the tilapia with a little extra Canola cooking spray, for added crispness and to coat any dry spots.
  6. Bake the tilapia at 400℉ for 10-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. For an extra healthy and satisfying meal, serve Lemon Pepper Tilapia with Roasted Brussels Sprouts Salad.
