Oven Fried Basil Tilapia

This fish tastes so close to being fried
without all the fat and calories.
Tilapia fillets baked in the oven with a
light cornmeal and basil coating
that taste really close to being fried.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
fresh ground black pepper
2 egg whites
1 pound tilapia fillets
1/4 cup dried bread crumbs
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Sift or stir flour, salt, and pepper
together in a shallow dish, and set aside.
In a bowl, beat egg whites until white and frothy.
In another bowl,
combine bread crumbs with cornmeal and basil.
To bread the fillets, dip first into flour,
shaking off any excess, then into egg whites,
then into bread crumb mixture.
Spray a shallow baking dish
with non-stick cooking spray.
Lay fillets flat in the dish,
tucking under any thinner ends
or edges for more even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes,
or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
