I altered the recipe a bit by drizzling the fillets with unsalted butter. I mixed up the seasoning in a custard cup using garlic powder, oregano, a couple dashes of sea salt, and the Parmesan.

Great and easy, too.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2011-02-13","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"PurpleCactus"},"reviewBody":"This was wonderful, my entire family gobbled it right up!

I did think it was just a little bland but overall good.  I would definitely make again and maybe add a little something or serve with a sauce.  I used frozen tilapia fillets and it worked well.  Someone mentioned it was too salty with the garlic salt so I used half garlic salt and half garlic powder; however I found I needed to salt my fish a litle.  I had no trouble getting the crumb mixture to stick.  I rinsed the fillets in water first before coating.  No need to use an egg or any oil.  My family enjoyed this recipe.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"data":{"status":204},"message":"No shortcode found in recipe"},"rms_legacy_id":"45268","romance_copy_dek":"This five-ingredient breaded tilapia recipe features a Parmesan and herb bread crumb coating.
