Tip-toe tilapia


1 filet tilapia
1/4 c. mayonnaise
1 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 c. bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 450°. Mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, olive oil, and spices in a small bowl. Coat both sides of fish with mixture, then dip into bread crumbs, covering entire surface. Move around the kitchen on your tip-toes to avoid aggravating your heel. Lay tilapia filet in a small baking dish and bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crunchy. Put your foot up and enjoy the last of the tilapia excavated from the archaeologist's freezer.
