9 steps

Ingredients

  • 5 pieces tilapia fillets, defrosted
  • 1/2 cup skim milk
  • 3/4 cup fresh breadcrumb
  • 3/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • cooking spray
  • salt

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the fresh bread crumbs on a cookie sheet and place them in the oven until they are toasted (3-5 minutes). Take them out and set them aside to cool.
  2. 2
    Turn the oven up to 425 degrees.
  3. 3
    Cut the tilapia into slices about one inch thick. (I cut mine on the short side because my kids are small and like small nuggets.).
  4. 4
    Put the tilapia in a bowl and add the milk. Stir well.
  5. 5
    In a large ziploc type bag add the toasted bread crumbs, cornmeal, and pepper.
  6. 6
    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fish from the milk and put the pieces into the bag. Seal it and then shake it up so all the pieces are coated.
  7. 7
    Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
  8. 8
    Place the nuggets on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with salt.
  9. 9
    Bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 15-25 minutes.
