Tasty Tilapia!

This is the easiest fish I think I've ever made.  If your short on time--please do not pick up a fast food bag.  Whether its just you, or two, get some Tilapia fillets from the fish market/seafood section of your grocery store and introduce it to to your pan.

Ingredients:
-Tilapia Fillets  (the only real proportion is about 2 fillets to 3/4 cup breadcrumbs; use other ingredients to taste)
- Garlic Powder (unless you have some roasted garlic left over from my eggplant recipe--use this) 
-Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning
-Salt, Pepper

How To:

Season, or actually, 'rub', the filets to taste with the salt, pepper, adobo and garlic powder (use a garlic press over the filets if your using garlic cloves).

Heat a skillet at medium heat and drizzle olive oil all over the bottom. As skillet heats up, cover the Tilapia completely with breadcrumbs and put into the pan, drizzle the fillets with olive oil and let them cook until golden brown (if possible, keep the pan covered the majority of the time so that fish does not dry out), make sure to turn the fish over--cooking on average about 3 minutes each side.  Once cooked through, blot on a paper towel, transfer to a plate and garnish with lemon and cilantro.  

Great Accompaniments?  My Minty Aguacate Mango Salad and a glass of Pinot Grigio.
