Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
Pepper
2 egg whites
1 pound tilapia fillets
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup dried bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed

Steps:

  • •Begin by pre-heating the oven to 450° Fahrenheit / 230° Celsius. •Stir flour, salt and pepper together in a dish or plate. •Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks and place the egg whites in a bowl.

Tips:

  • Use fresh tilapia fillets. Fresh tilapia fillets will have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a firm texture. Avoid fillets that are frozen or have a slimy texture.
  • Pat the tilapia fillets dry before cooking. This will help the breading adhere to the fish and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper before breading. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Use a light hand when breading the tilapia fillets. Too much breading will make the fish heavy and greasy.
  • Cook the tilapia fillets in a hot oven. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the fish from becoming dry.
  • Serve the tilapia fillets immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
