HERBED BAKED FISH

"Fish are our friends, not food."  Every time I eat fish, I think of that scene from Finding Nemo when the sharks are trying to stop eating fish.  That movie cracks me up!   But here in my world, fish are food!  I found this great recipe on Recipezaar, and as usual, I made changes to "lighten" it up.  It was very good my way, so I can only imagine how good it would have been with drizzled butter and extra Parmesan cheese.  If you want the original recipe, it is #32478 on Recipezaar.  I will give you my version!

1 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp. sage
3/4 tsp. oregano
3/4 tsp. basil
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder (of course)
black pepper
3/4 tsp. lemon pepper
1/2 cup lemon juice
parmesan cheese
cooking spray
fish fillets (I used Tilapia)

I poured some lemon juice in a bowl and dipped my fish in it.  Then in another bowl, I combined all the spices and the bread crumbs.  Coat the fish and place it in a 9x13 pan sprayed with cooking spray.  I lightly sprinkled some parmesan cheese on top, then sprayed the fish with the cooking spray.


Bake at 500 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the fish is flaky. 


It is only 3 points for a 3 oz. piece of fish.


*Just a note - I never measure my spices out - I just the palm of my hand, so I'm sure I put in more spices than called for.

This fish was excellent!  I had some left overs for lunch today and it was still really good.
