Whether you use tilapia or any other mild white fish, this easy, throw-it-on-the-grill recipe is big in flavor, not in fat and calories. Serve both fish and asparagus with a squirt of lemon and tartar or cocktail sauce if desired.

This turned out really good! Don't forget the lemon because it really adds to the dish. I'll admit that I would have preferred my fish fried but then that wouldn't be healthy now would it? The raw fish is wet enough that you really don't need to use the egg. The coating sticks just fine without it. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for the great recipe! Read More

Okay so I admit to just using this recipe as a base. I'm not a fan of grilling fish so we pan fried in a cast-iron skillet. We had 6 quite large tilapia fillets and 1 egg for dipping was plenty. Instead of a "seafood" seasoning used a salt-free grilling seasoning blend (for chicken fish etc.) in the bread crumbs and no powdered garlic. The 1C of bread crumbs was just about enough for 5 fillets so used crushed tortilla chips for the last one. Pan fried the fillets in olive oil until flaky then fried up the asparagus in the same pan with seasoned salt pepper and a little orange peel keeping the fish warm in a warm oven. Easy and incredibly delicious dinner. Read More
