I found this recipe in a Gooseberry Patch cookbook and changed it around a bit. It originally called for halibut but we don't eat it so I changed it to tilapia. It was originally submitted to the book by Lisa Wahl of Scobey, MT.
Ingredients:
6 tilapia fillets
3 tablespoons butter, softened and divided
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon bacon bits (or 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup fat free greek yogurt
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/3 cup crouton, crushed (it suggests cornbread croutons)
Directions:
1. Rub tilapia with 2 tbsp butter. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
2. Arrange tilapia in a 13x9 baking pan.
3. Mix Parmesan cheese, Greek yogurt and lemon juice together; spread evenly over tilapia.
4. Sprinkle bacon bits over top of yogurt mixture.
5. Melt remaining butter in a saucepan over low heat (or in microwave).
6. Remove from heat and add croutons. Toss to coat.
7. Sprinkle crouton mixture over tilapia.
8. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, depending on thickness of tilapia.
