Gremolata Crusted Tilapia

This fish recipe is tasty and nutritious. It is a 30 min. meal that can be thrown together quickly with few ingredients. You can use other white fish, such as cod or halibut. I use Tilapia for it's mild flavor, and smell, it is also usually priced well. Try to buy wild Tilapia, instead of farm raised. It has better nutritional value, especially in regards to Omega 3's.

1 slice whole grain bread

1/4 c. fresh leaf parsley

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 t. finely grated lemon peel

1/8 t. ground black pepper

1/4 c. canola or olive oil low fat mayonnaise

6 Tilapia fillets

1 t. lemon juice

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place bread into a food processor, and process until small crumbs form. Remove the crumbs and set aside. Place parsley, garlic, lemon peel and pepper into the processor. Process until blended. Add mayonnaise and process until blended. Place the fillets onto lightly oiled baking sheet. Evenly sprinkle the fillets with lemon juice, and then evenly top with the mayonnaise mixture. Next sprinkle bread crumbs over fillets. Bake for 15 min. or until fish flakes with a fork.
