Baked Tilapia with Lots of Spice

I found this recipe via www.supercook.com. It is a website where you can enter all the ingredients that you have on hand and it will generate recipes that you can make. You can make a profile so that it will save your ingredients, so that way you can just add and delete things as your "inventory" changes. It is super handy!!

I adjusted this recipe for just one person, altered some of the amounts slightly because of fractions, and my tilapia was 4.7 oz (instead of 4). Feel free to refer to the original recipe.

Ingredients:
4.7 oz tilapia
1/8 tsp EACH:
-paprika
-onion powder
-dry mustard
-garlic salt
-black pepper
-cumin
-basil
-italian seasoning
1/8 c italian bread crumbs
1 T sliced green onion
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1 tsp grape seed oil

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 450F. Place the tilapia in a small baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray.
2. In a small bowl, combine the spices (from the paprika to the italian seasoning). Sprinkle 1 tsp of the spice mix over the tilapia.
3. To the remaining spice mix, add the bread crumbs, parsley, and green onion. Add the oil and mix together.
4. Cover the tilapia with the bread crumb mixture.
5. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until flaky.
Makes 1 serving.
