Montana Baked Tilapia

I found this recipe in a Gooseberry Patch cookbook and changed it around a bit. It originally called for halibut but we don't eat it so I changed it to tilapia. It was originally submitted to the book by Lisa Wahl of Scobey, MT.

Ingredients

• 6  tilapia fillets
• 3  tablespoons butter, softened and divided

• 1⁄2 cup  grated parmesan cheese
• 1  cup  fat free Greek yogurt
• 2  teaspoons lemon juice
• 1⁄3 cup crouton, crushed (it suggests cornbread croutons)

Directions

1. Rub tilapia with 2 tbsp butter. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
2. Arrange tilapia in a 13x9 baking pan.
3. Mix Parmesan cheese, Greek yogurt and lemon juice together; spread evenly over tilapia.
4. Sprinkle bacon bits over top of yogurt mixture.
5. Melt remaining butter in a saucepan over low heat (or in microwave).
6. Remove from heat and add croutons. Toss to coat.
7. Sprinkle crouton mixture over tilapia.
8. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, depending on thickness of tilapia.
