 #### Crispy Dill Tilapia Recipe

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to prepare Crispy Dill Tilapia:

1. **Preparation**: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) or 400 degrees depending on your oven's heat distribution. Lightly grease a 15x10x1-in. baking pan or a large baking sheet with cooking spray. 

2. **Seasoning the Tilapia**: Dry the tilapia fillets well with paper towels. Season the tilapia fillets with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning on both sides. You can also add other seasonings like paprika for additional flavor.

3. **Preparing the Dill Mixture**: Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and dill. If you don't have fresh dill, a bit of fresh thyme would be a great substitute with fish and lemon. 

4. **Breading the Tilapia**: Place the tilapia in the prepared baking pan; brush with lemon juice. Top with the prepared dill mixture, patting to help adhere. Tossing the bread crumbs with a bit of oil helps it crisp up in the short amount of time it takes to cook the fish.

5. **Baking the Tilapia**: Bake, uncovered, on an upper oven rack until the fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, which should take about 12-15 minutes. If you do not have a thermometer, cook until it flakes easily with a fork at its thickest part.

6. **Serving the Tilapia**: Serve the baked tilapia with lemon wedges. You can also serve it with a creamy sauce of fresh dill and lemon, which can be prepared by mixing together mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, lemon juice, and dill in a small bowl.

Remember, the key to a flavorful Crispy Dill Tilapia is using fresh ingredients like lemons, dill, and parsley if available. Enjoy your meal!
