Cornflake Crusted Tilapia1 lb Tilapia filets (4-6)
2.5 c cornflakes, crunched up
1 egg, beaten
1/4 c flour
2T spice rub*
2T oil
preheat oven to 400 baking time 10 mins
Coat the bottom of a large rimmed baking sheet with the oil, spread to coat evenly and set aside. Line up three pie pans or shallow bowls or plates. Place the flour and spice rub in one and whisk together. Beat one egg in the 2nd pie pan. Pour the crunched up Cornflakes in the third (I just crunch them with my hands). Dip each filet, one at a time, in the flour turning to coat evenly, the egg mixture and then the cornflakes. Place them on the oiled baking sheet. Bake for 5 mins, turn over and finish baking for an additional 5 minutes.

You are so darn cute. lol. I was giggling at the doggy in the background.
Here is my deal w/ fish. I hate how my house smells after I cook it.
Here is another way ... melt butter in a ban (or I Can't Believe it is not butter) I did a TBS for 2 filets. Add salt, pepper, and slivered almonds till heated through and pour over fish. Yummo.
hmm... I don't know if this would smell as fishy but since I don't leave the house it is hard for me to tell ;)
I have been meaning to make this for a while. In fact, I bought some frozen tilapia at TJ's a while ago. The problem is my husband really, really hates fish so I always forget to just make it up for the boys and I. Of course, since we rarely have fish, my boys don't eat it either. But then, my kids really don't eat any meat. They can be so unsatisfying to cook for:(
I like how you're threatening to punish us by making your family eat it over and over.
If the store has tilapia today, I'll buy it and make it. Oh, wait, I'm roasting chicken today. This weekend. This weekend. (Sorry Family Furious!)
It's even better if you use Panko bread crumbs instead of corn flakes.
Smoochie,
Does that mean you made it? Or do you just mean in general? I particularly like the way the flavor of the corn flakes plays off the spice rub... they're really complimentary flavors.
Panko would give a completely different textural feel to the crust too... not so crunchy.
Deb,
these freaks would eat this everyday with no complaints.
man that looks fab, but your going to have to keep posting it for a long long time if your waiting for me to make it - hubby's damn allergies don't let us have fish, sigh
Okay, you broke me down. I went out and bought tilapia and cornflakes and made it. And I have to say...even my son, the world's pickiest 8-year-old, ate it without complaint. I liked it quite a bit and my husband did, too. I will definitely make it again and I appreciate the recipe and the nagging to make it...I'm a reluctant cook at best but like I said, I will make this again.
HicktownDiva,
Yay! Yay! I'm glad you all liked it... especially your son! :)
Shirls,
yeah I don't know how you manage with all his allergies :(
Something extremely similar. Love me some Panko! Not a big Corn Flake fan though. It's a textural thing for me. The Panko are so small they almost disappear when cooked. Yummy!
Trying this tonight - with the Flakes, not the Panko. Can't wait to see my kids freak out when they sit down to dinner... We've mandated that we will no longer cook separate meals for the children in our house.
Scott,
Well I hope it works out and that everyone likes it!
Good luck with the no more separate meals... they'll get used to it (I hope). ;)
