Baked Fish with Roasted Mixed Vegetables

At the beginning of this year, I was determined to fix fish at least once a week for my family. I did pretty good for awhile, but got off track. My kids love fish and I have alot of frozen tilapia on hand, so we are going to start having some kind of fish at least once a week. This was something that I just threw together that turned out being really yummy. The lemon pepper adds a little zing to the fish and the roasted veggies are great because the leftovers can be used in sandwiches, quesadillas, etc. (Look for some of them to reappear in next week's lunchbox). So, here is an easy weeknight dinner that is satisfying and healthy!

Baked Fish by Mary Ann
5 tilapia fillets
5 tsp fat free mayo
salt and pepper
3 Tbls lemon pepper
3/4 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
Preheat broiler and spray broiler pan with cooking spray. Place tilapia fillets on broiler pan. Spread 1 tsp mayo on each fillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine lemon pepper and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture over fillets and press into fish with fingers. Drizzle fillets with olive oil and bake under the broiler for 8-10 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

  4. We try to eat fish regularly here too. We are in luck because we are in the perfect area for high quality fish especially salmon. This recipe looks tasty and healthy as well.
