1. Sounds good. I have Tilapia pretty often. Always looking for new ideas.

Thanks for the post.

2. I will definitely try this.

I have a similar recipe but the tilapia isn't breaded. I know this will be delicious.

3. It was even good as leftovers tonight

Instead of heating up the fish in the microwave, I reheated it in a non-stick frying pan. Much better that way.

P.S. I pretty much winged it on the recipe. The breading put the dish over the top!
