Baked Mustard Tilapia

Again, saving money is the name of the game. To make this thick sauce, I used some bread crumbs. Pretty neat trick without adding extra fat or flour. Fish is one of my favorite proteins. It is difficult to purchase when you are trying to limit your spending, but this baked dish really makes my mouth water! Didn't get a chance to take a picture this time - I ate it all before I remembered!

4 Tilapia Fillets
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
Zest of 1/2 Lemon
1/4 Teaspoon Dried Tarragon
1 Tablespoon Melted Butter
1/4 Cup Skim Milk
2 Tablespoons Mustard
2 Tablespoons Bread Crumbs (Gluten-Free if needed)
Kosher Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Rub a glass baking dish with butter. Place fish in dish and sprinkle with salt, pepper lemon juice and lemon zest. In a small bowl, mix tarragon, melted butter, milk and mustard. Whisk until blended. Add bread crumbs and combine.  Pour mixture over fish. Make for 25 minutes until fish flakes with fork and sauce bubbles. Serve warm.
