Herb-Crusted Tilapia for Two

Herb-crusted tilapia

Ingredients:

  • Two tilapia fillets (about 3/4 pound)

  • 1 tablespoon flour

  • 1 large egg, plus 1 tablespoon water

  • 2 tablespoons mixed herbs

  • 1/2 cup panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Sprinkle flour on waxed paper. Rub fillets with flour. Beat egg with water in a shallow dish. On waxed paper, mix panko with herbs. Dip floured fillets in egg wash and roll in herb-panko mixture, patting it gently so that it sticks to the fish. Heat oil in a nonstick frying pan to medium high. Saute fish about three minutes. Turn once and cook for another three minutes. Serve immediately.
