LEMON-PEPPER PANKO CRUSTED TILAPIA

COUSCOUS          

SAUTED ZUCHINNI, ONION & TOMATOES

LEMON-PEPPER PANKO CRUSTED TILAPIA

4 tilapia filets, rinsed and patted dry

Vegetable oil

Salt, pepper, garlic powder & onion powder

1 lemon

1 box lemon-pepper panko breadcrumbs

2 eggs

¼ cup milk

1 cup flour

Season fish fillets on each side with seasonings and squeeze a little fresh lemon on each piece of fish.   Take 3 separate dishes and place flour in one, eggs in milk in second dish and panko in the third dish.  Place oil in a large skillet –just enough to cover the bottom of the skillet.  Heat oil in the skillet and dip each piece of fish first into the flour, shaking off excess, then the egg and milk and lastly, the panko.  Place 2 at a time in the hot oil and cook about 3 minutes on each side on medium high.  Watch carefully.  I like to serve this dish with tartar sauce.  Garnish with parsley and lemon.  For the couscous, I buy the boxed brand –garlic parmesan flavor.  It’s simple to make.

SAUTED ZUCHINNI, ONION & TOMATOES

3 zucchini, peeled and cubed

1 small onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tomato, chopped

1 packet splenda

1 teaspoon olive oil

Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet and add zucchini and onion.  Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes.  Add garlic, tomato and splenda and sauté another 5 to 7 minutes or until zucchini is tender.
