Potato Chip Topped Baked Tilapia

This is a really inexpensive, good for you "Easy Breezy" dinner.

Tilapia is easy to find and inexpensive. It's a great fish for a novice cook because it is easy to season and cooks quickly.

I am still learning to work with seafood. But this dish is so simple, fast and yummy.

You can put any seasonings on it. I will use any of these 3 usually. Lemon Pepper, Asian Lemon Ginger and Caribbean Jerk. You can also marinate in some orange juice or any of the store marinades that go on sale all the time.



Pat the fish dry.

Dry season or marinade at least 5-10 min before you cook. This allows the seasonings to soak into the fish.

I am using the dry jerk seasoning in this dish.

Preheat oven to 350. For easy clean up I lined the baking sheet in foil and lightly greased it.

For fun, I topped the fish with some crumbled potato chips. You can also crumble the chips and coat the fish this way on both sides for a crunchier coating.

Put in the oven for 15-20 min. You can also fry on each side for 2-3min depending on the thickness of the fish. I baked it to make it healthier.

15 min later you have a beautiful crunchy dish. I add a $2.00 bag of salad. Cut cucumber, tomato and an onion into it and walla! Dinner well under $10 and made in under 30 min. With the foil lined baking sheet, it's super quick clean up too!
