Pumpkin Seed Crusted Tilapia

It's another Secret Recipe Club Reveal Day! I was so excited to find this great recipe on Jane Deere's blog. She has a beautiful blog, and lots of great recipes, but this one was especially enticing to me as I recently ordered a similar dish at a restaurant. I love being able to recreate restaurant dishes at home, so out of all Jane's recipes, I had to select this one.

And the bonus? It is QUICK and EASY to prepare! And good for you!

Start by combining the chopped pumpkin seeds,



butter, cheese, garlic, chives,



and cayenne.



Mix this up to combine all the ingredients. Place the fish on a greased baking sheet, then spread with the mayo.



Press the seed mixture onto each filet.



That's it! Now all you have to do is bake it for 20-25 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.



This is a great weeknight recipe to have in your repertoire, and would be equally wonderful served to company.
