Fried Buffalo Tilapia with Spaghetti 🍝 & Cheesy Garlic Bread 😋

Fried Buffalo Tilapia

Ingredients:

4 (6 oz.) tilapia filets

1 Tbsp. Nature’s Seasoning

4 Tbsp. butter, melted

3 Tbsp. Frank’s Red Hot Wing Sauce

1/3 c. Panko breadcrumbs

1 Tbsp. Olive oil

1 Tbsp. Ranch dressing seasoning

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425*. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Arrange the fish filets on the pan and sprinkle both sides lightly with the Nature’s Seasoning.

In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and Frank’s until combined. Use a basting brush and paint the Frank’s onto both sides of fish. After both sides have been brush spoon the remaining sauce onto each filet.

In another small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, olive oil, and Ranch seasoning. Use a fork to disperse the moisture until all the breadcrumbs are coated on oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the tops of each filet.

Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the fish is flaking and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Cheesy Garlic Bread

1 package of Pepperidge Farm 5 cheese garlic bread, 1 jar of Bertoli spaghetti sauce (pick your favorite flavor!), Ricotta cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Mix the spaghetti sauce and ricotta cheese together(add salt), lay the garlic bread on a cookie sheet and spoon the mixture completely covering the top, then add the mozzarella cheese and bake at 450 for 8 minutes! YUMMM! It also reheats perfectly in a toaster oven if you have left overs! Then I throw a salad together as a side with fresh cut veggies and zesty Italian dressing!
