Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 2 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 8 ounce tilapia fillet
- 1/2 cup light mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chopped dill
- 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 whole-wheat hamburger buns
- 1/2 cup baby lettuce leaves
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Coat the baking sheet with cooking spray, and set aside.
- Liberally coat the fillet in butter, and cover each side evenly with the panko breadcrumbs. Place the fish on the baking sheet, and put into the oven. Bake until the fillet is cooked through and golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, and cut into 2 equally-sized portions.
- Mix the mayonnaise, dill, garlic, and lemon juice together in a bowl until blended.
- Lightly toast the hamburger buns, and generously slather each with the mayonnaise. Divide the lettuce leaves equally and place on the bottom slices of each bun. Put the fillets over the lettuce, and add the top buns. Serve immediately and enjoy!
