The Musings of a Working Mom

My kids love fish sticks - but they aren't the healthiest and quite honestly I would rather my kids eat fish that was prepared in a healthier, less greasy manner.  I wanted to maintain the crunch since that is what the kids love, so I looked for a recipe with panko bread crumbs.  The Whole Foods website had a wonderful, easy and tasty recipe that I had all the ingredients for.  My kids loved not only the crunchy topping but also the lemon zest in the topping - truth be told they love lemony anything.  Matter of fact, I served the tilapia with steamed broccoli dressed with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper.  Survey says: 2 out of 3 kids loved it (the 3rd liked it but not loved it), and I loved it.  This easy peasy meal has earned it's spot in our healthy dinner rotation . Ingredients:  2/3 cup panko bread crumbs 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the pan 2 teaspoons dried basil 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
