Pecan Crusted Tilapia #2

By MichelleF

Cooking Light ~ This is good & very similar to the other pecan crusted tilapia I make. Besides seasonings, the main differences are this uses breadcrumbs & buttermilk. My husband & teenage sons eat 2 pieces of fish so I adjusted the recipe amounts.

Ingredients

• 1 cup breadcrumbs or Panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup pecan chips
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 1/2 tsp. Tony Chachere's
• 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
• 1 tsp. La. Hot Sauce
• 1/3 cup flour
• 6 - 8 tilapia fillets
• Canola oil
• Lemon wedges
