Baked Tilapia with Dill & Pickle Sauce

It’s time again, for the monthly recipe swap! After our gracious host, Sarah from A Taste of Home Cooking did a little poll among the participants, the format of our swaps has now changed from being assigned a specific recipe from a particular blog, to now being given a theme and assigned a blog where we can select any recipe we want that fits the theme, alternating with Blogger’s Choice where we are assigned a blog and can choose any recipe at all. This month is a Blogger’s Choice month and I received my buddy and our host, Sarah’s blog!

As I’ve mentioned (numerous) times before, Sarah is a big part of the reason I started my blog. After finding her online and making several of her recipes, I reached out to ask her some questions about setting up my blog. She was so helpful and we’ve been good friends ever since! And even though I still make recipes from her blog, it was fun to be assigned her blog and to go through and pick out a new one. I actually have quite a few things Pinned from her blog so what better kick in the behind to get them made?? J loves fish, as do I, so I always try to have tilapia and/or salmon on the menu at least once a week.

I actually made this a couple of weeks ago when some of J’s friends came over to help him pull up carpet in one of the bedrooms to replace the carpet pad. I mean, the least we could do was feed them, right?? I was especially excited about the sauce because, well, it has pickles in it and I love pretty much anything that involves (dill) pickles. The fish was so easy to make, although I am a bit of a hot mess in the kitchen when it comes to breading things. I should probably use tongs instead of my hands to dredge and dip the fish (or whatever it may be) to avoid the goopy mess and constant rinsing/washing my hands between pieces, but at the time if feels quicker to do it that way. ::Shrug:: Fortunately the neatness (or lack-thereof) of the preparation process does not affect the delicious outcome! Everyone loved the fish and gobbled it right up, and there were leftovers from J to take to work on Monday.

Thanks again to Sarah, both for hosting and sharing such great recipes! Be sure to check out the other posts from the swap below!

Baked Tilapia with Dill & Pickle Sauce

As seen on A Taste of Home Cooking

Ingredients

2 large egg white, beaten
2 cup panko
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tilapia filets
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Cooking spray (or canola/vegetable oil)
1/2 cup mayonnaise (I used miracle whip)
4 tbsp finely chopped dill pickle
fresh lemon juice, to taste
chopped fresh dill, to taste

Preparation

Pre-heat broiler and line a baking sheet with foil, spray with cooking spray, and set aside.
Place egg whites in a shallow dish and combine the panko, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder in a second, shallow dish.
Salt and pepper both sides of the fish then dip each filet in the egg and then into the panko mixture, pressing down to make sure it sticks.
Place filets on the prepared baking sheet and broil 4 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
While fish is cooking combine the mayo, pickle, lemon juice and dill in a bowl. Stir, taste and adjust lemon juice and dill as needed, and serve with the fish.
