Lemon Crumb Tilapia

Tonight was a new recipe, and it was great! We loved it. It was Lemon CrumbTilapia. I didn't really go by the amounts, I just mixed what I felt would be right for the amount of fish we had (3 small filets). I used the zest of the whole lemon because we really enjoy that flavor. Even my son, who normally doesn't care for fish that much, ate the whole filet by himself. I also made just a very simple succotash that was actually pretty good. Here is the recipe for the tilapia.

Lemon Crumb Tilapia
(from recipezaar.com)
12 oz tilapia fillets, thawed
1/4 c Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 T grated parmesan cheese (not the canned kind)
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp grated lemon zest
3 T butter (divided)
1 T vegetable oil
1-2 T lemon juice

Rinse fish and pat dry. Combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic salt, and lemon peel on waxed paper. Melt 2 tablespoons butter. Dip fillets in melted butter. Coat fillet with crumb mixture. In nonstick skillet, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter with oil over medium heat. Cook fillets for 2 to 4 minutes per side or until fish flakes easily. Sprinkle with lemon juice. When removing fish from skillet, use a spatula or the fish will fall apart.
