Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 talapia, fillets, rinsed and patted dry
2 ripe bananas, sliced
2 c bread crumbs, whole wheat (or your favorite bread crumb)
4 Tbsp peanuts, chopped (or your favorite nut)
cooking olive oil spray
salt and pepper to taste
paprika to taste (optional)
red pepper, few pinches (optional)
2 c fresh tomato salsa (recipe follows)(optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 375 and season fish on both sides with salt, pepper, paprika and red pepper.
  • 2. in a 9x13 baking pan line with aluminum foil and spray with Olive oil. Spread 1/2 of bread crumbs on the bottom of the dish and arrange fish on top of bread crumbs.
  • 3. Slice banana to cover each fillet with a thin layer of banana. use remaining breadcrumbs to cover bananas. sprinkle nuts on top of that, spray a little more olive oil on top so the breadcrumbs brown slightly. Bake in oven until thickest part of fish is opaque, about 20 minutes.
  • 4. Serve with salsa on the top or the side. I usually serve a nice green salad or green beans on the side.
  • 5. To Make salsa: finely dice 1c tomato, 1/2c red onion, 1/4c green pepper, 1/2c mango, 1/2 to 1 finely diced jalapeno, 1tsp calentio, 1/4c lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I'll try it again with less chili next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The fish was overcooked and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.
