Italian Crusted Talapia

6 talapia fillets
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs (tastes best with homemade crumbs)
1 TB Italian seasoning
1 tsp. thyme
1 1/2 tsp. garlic
2 tsp. parsley flakes
Salt
Pepper
1/2 cup melted butter (I usually use less - just enough to moisten the bread crumbs)

Preparation

Spray baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Lay 6 fillets in pan. Set aside.

In bowl combine bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, thyme, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Melt butter and pour into bread crumb mixture. Mix well. Spread over top of Talapia and press it on fairly firm. Spray top with non-stick spray.

Bake in preheated oven at 425 for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on oven.

Rice
1 1/3 c. plus 1 TB cold water
1/2 cup brown rice
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning,
About 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
A couple of shakes of paprika

Stir everything together in a pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cover until done. Fluff with a fork before serving.

This makes 2 servings. When making more servings don't double, etc. the extra 1 TB water.

Serve rice & fish with freshly steamed vegetables.
