Broiled Holiday Tilapia with Parmesan Zucchini Noodles

Broiled Holiday Tilapia with Parmesan Zucchini Noodles

Directions:                    

  1. Turn oven to broil. Place tilapia on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush with oil and season with ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper, garlic powder and crushed red pepper. Broil for 5 minutes; remove from oven.
  2. Top with spinach, goat cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest and tomatoes.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and broil for an additional 4 minutes or until tilapia is cooked to 145°.
  3. Meanwhile, pour 3 inches of oil (about 2 cups) into a medium pot and bring to 375°, over medium heat.
  4. Using a spiralizer, create "noodles" from the zucchini.
  5. Place flour in a medium bowl and add "noodles." Coat in flour and shake off excess.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk eggs and water. Place floured "noodles" in egg and toss to coat. Shake to remove excess liquid.
  7. In a medium bowl, mix together bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Place egg-coated "noodles" in bowl, and toss to coat.
  8. Working in batches, place a small amount of breaded "noodles" in oil and cook until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon or metal strainer and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt, to taste.
  9. Place noodles on plate and top with broiled fish. Garnish with basil.
