Pecorino Crusted Tilapia

pecorinotilapiaAfter my trip to Tuscany I developed a love of Pecorino cheese so I tried this!! 

Ingredients

1 pound tilapia fillets
1/4 cup corn meal
1/4 cup grated pecorino romano
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
cayenne pepper to taste
 
Instructions

Thaw and wash tilapia fillets if frozen. Pat dry on paper towels.
Combine corn meal, pecorino, italian seasoning, salt, pepper and garlic powder on a plate, mixing well.
On a different plate, pour 1 tbsp lemon juice.
Working 1 at a time, place a fillet on the plate in the lemon juice, turn the fillet over in the lemon juice to cover both sides.
Dredge fillet in the pecorino mixture patting it all over to coat.
Place in an oiled baking dish, repeat with remaining fillets.
Sprinkle a little lemon juice over fillets and drizzle or spray them lightly with olive oil.
Top with desired amount of cayenne pepper.
Bake at 425ºF for about 20 minutes or until they easily flake with a fork and edges are browning.

Yields: 4
