PANKO-CRUSTED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a shallow bowl, mix panko, garlic, thyme, cayenne, and a generous pinch of both salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to panko mixture, mixing with fingers so that breadcrumbs are evenly coated. Set aside.

• Bake for 10-12 minutes, until fish is cooked through and will flake with a fork.
