It was my husband's birthday today so I cooked us a special dinner: oven-roasted baby red potatoes with whole garlic cloves (I cut the bigger ones in half so they'd cook at the same time and roasted them at 400F for an hour) oven-baked tilapia fillets with panko crumbs. (the fillets were frozen - I thawed them out and then coated them with egg and seasoned crumbs and put them on a greased cookie sheet and baked at 400F for twentyfive minutes - they were still a bit icy when they went in so they took longer to cook. Served with a nice salad, lemon wedges and some homemade tartare sauce. Dessert was a fresh vanilla cake with sliced strawberries, icecream (amaretto for him, caramel for me), and a generous amount of fresh strawberry sauce.

Congratulations - glad it all turned out well!
1. I don't like breaded fish fillet 2. I don't like tilapia in any form 3. Everything else was irresistible

Ah well then you wouldn't like it 🙂 I don't much like 'breading' as a rule, but the panko crumbs are supposed to be very light and they were... I used a lot of crumbs and a lot of egg and it came out more like it had been dipped in a light batter, only it wasn't greasy. ~Karen aka Kajikit Crafts, cats, and chocolate - the three essentials of life http://www.kajikitscorner.com *remove 'nospam' to reply
