Cornbread Encrusted Tilapia with Low Fat Tarter Sauce
By Barbara Hoffner, Clarkston, Mich.

A finalist in the GMA 2000 Cut the Calories Cook-Off Contest

Ingredients

4 tilapia fillets

1/2 cup dried cornbread crumbs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 egg, lightly beaten with 1 teaspoon of water

Directions

1. Rinse fillets, pat dry. Mix all dry ingredients together and place on a shallow dish or plate. Dip fillets in egg wash, then dredge in dry coating mixture.

2. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and spray liberally with nonstick cooking spray. Spray one side of fillets with cooking spray, too.

3. Saute fillets on the sprayed side until golden. Spray second side and flip. Cook until fish is cooked through (3 to 5 minutes per side).

Yields: 4 servings.
