These were a nice variant on the breaded baked fish filets. Easy too.

Flour, wet and then the final crust creates a breading that adheres properly.

Pretzel Crusted Tilapia

Serves 4

4 tilapia fillets, or other similar white fish (about 6 ounces each)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 eggs
⅓ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons milk
½ cup flour
3 cups pretzels, crushed
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Pat fish dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper on both sides.

In shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, mayonnaise, and milk.

Place flour in another shallow bowl.

In a separate shallow bowl, combine pretzels, sugar, and garlic powder.

Coat fillets in flour, then dip in egg mixture.

Coat with pretzel mixture. Place fish on a baking pan and spray fish lightly with cooking spray.

Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork
