Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 large egg
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• cooking spray
• 2 teaspoons garlic and herb seasoning (such as McCormick®)
• 6 tilapia fillets
• 1 cup garlic- and herb-seasoned bread crumbs

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a shallow baking dish with cooking spray. Pat fish fillets dry.

Step 2

Mix bread crumbs, seasoning, salt, and cayenne pepper together in a zip-top bag. Seal the bag and toss ingredients together in the sealed bag until thoroughly mixed.

Step 3

Mix milk and egg together in a bowl. Place fillets, 1 at a time, into egg mixture, shaking off excess. Place into the zip-top bag, seal, and shake to coat evenly. Transfer fillets to the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until easily flaked with a fork, about 15 minutes. Turn on the oven's broiler and continue to cook for until edges are crisp, about 5 minutes more.
