It was my husband's birthday today so I cooked us a special dinner:
oven-roasted baby red potatoes with whole garlic cloves (I cut the
bigger ones in half so they'd cook at the same time and roasted them
at 400F for an hour)
oven-baked tilapia fillets with panko crumbs. (the fillets were frozen
- I thawed them out and then coated them with egg and seasoned crumbs
and put them on a greased cookie sheet and baked at 400F for
twentyfive minutes - they were still a bit icy when they went in so
they took longer to cook.
Served with a nice salad, lemon wedges and some homemade tartare
sauce.
Dessert was a fresh vanilla cake with sliced strawberries, icecream
(amaretto for him, caramel for me), and a generous amount of fresh
strawberry sauce.

YUM!

Congratulations - glad it all turned out well!

1. I don't like breaded fish fillet
2. I don't like tilapia in any form
3. Everything else was irresistible

Ah well then you wouldn't like it I don't much like 'breading' as a
rule, but the panko crumbs are supposed to be very light and they
were... I used a lot of crumbs and a lot of egg and it came out more
like it had been dipped in a light batter, only it wasn't greasy.
