This was pretty good! I used dry instead of soft bread crumbs, and I breaded some tilapia and some cod both. I love fish but don't care for tilapia, and this recipe allowed me to tolerate the rest of the tilapia I had in the freezer! I baked spritz the fish with extra light virgin olive oil before dipping it in the bread crumb mixture. That worked fine. I also baked it for 20 minutes and got it nice and golden brown. I liked the crispy breading a lot. It had the texture of what you would put on catfish. I'm sure it would have been great with some tartar sauce, but I skipped it to keep the calories low. My 4 year old doesn't eat fish that isn't breaded, and he didn't complain about eating this fish at all. The cod was even better in this breading than the tilapia, though. Delicious!

It was very tasty. I dipped my tilapia in eggs first before dipping into the bread crumb mixture. It seemed to work.

even my 7 year old "I HATE FISH" daughter ate this and has asked for it again. I ate the leftovers the next day and it even reheated well, which very much surprised me!

It was very tasty. To get the bread crumbs to stick, brush a little olive oil on the fish.

This recipe was very good, but the bread crumb mixture didn't stick very well to the fish. Next time I will dip the fish in either milk or a beaten egg to get the crumbs to stick better.

I made this recipe using cod, and it was scrumptuous! We are not really fish eaters, but are trying to eat more of it...this recipe certainly helps!

This recipe was delicious and so easy to make. I was surprised by the amount of flavor the tilapia had with so few ingredients.

Was a hit with my 3 year old. He actually ate every bit of it that was on his plate without argument
