Every week I try to serve a new healthy fish. With its fresh dill and delicious panko bread crumb herb crust, this dish with mild tilapia is a winner. —Tamara Huron, New Market, Alabama

Test Kitchen tips
  • This breading would complement most types of fish. Try it on salmon if you prefer.
  • If you don't have fresh dill, a bit of fresh thyme would be great with fish and lemon.
  • Tossing the bread crumbs with a bit of oil helps it crisp up in the short amount of time it takes to cook the fish.
