Ingredients

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill snipped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • lemon wedges to taste

Directions

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Coat a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, the olive oil, the dill, the salt, and the pepper.
  • Place the fillets into the prepared pan and coat them with the lemon juice.
  • Top the fillets with the breadcrumb mixture, patting them to help the crust adhere.
