Crunchy Oven Fried Tilapia

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a shallow baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish and set aside.
• Beat egg whites in a separate shallow dish until white and frothy. Combine bread crumbs with cornmeal and basil in another shallow dish.
• Dip fillets into flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip into egg whites, followed by bread crumb mixture.
• Lay fillets in the prepared baking dish, tucking under any thin ends or edges for even cooking.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.
