Very simple and nice. I didn't have enough Panko so I used Italian bread crumbs which was nice. Will make again and add a bit more spices for flavor. Thanks.

Under doctor's orders I am eating more fish! I prefer breaded and fried, and this is a lighter and healthier version. I used olive oil for frying and this was very tasty. Thanks for posting Lori! Made for I Recommend Tag Game.

This was such a fast and easy recipe to make. Usually with fish recipes I have to run to the store and buy one or two ingredients, but I had everything on hand for this one. I tripled the recipe since I defrosted a 2 pound bag of Tilapia. I had to use a little more oil, but other than that I stuck to the recipe! Very good recipe! Thanks for posting it.
