Panko Crusted Tilapia with Spicy Tomato Cucumber Salsa

Is school out by you yet? Here in Vegas we have one week left. Only.One.Week! Happy for the first two weeks and going out of my mind two months coming my way. It also means having to put a bathing suit back on. Which leads into less bacon and beer, more salads and water season. The joys of summer vacay ya’ll! I was digging through my ‘less fat’ cookbooks and came across our favorite baked fish recipe. I doctored it up a bit with my spicy tomato cucumber salsa and man was it yummy! I’m sharing it because you’re dreading that bathing suit in the drawer too. This totally makes it way less painful to strap into it!

Pank Crusted Tilapia with Spicy Tomato Cucumber Salsa | Sassy Girlz Blog

You could totally grill this and skip to panko as well. Ethan loves his fish with panko so that’s how I made it. I just think he likes saying PANKO….. whatever works, right? If it were just me and the hubs, I’d grill it. Speaking of the hubs, I sent him to Walmart to pick up the ingredients for the tomato cucumber salsa. He texted me this photo…

Asking… “Which brand do I buy?” Men. I had to remind him I sent him with a coupon for HUNTS Tomatoes (Buy 3 get 1 FREE! – you should totally print that FYI, you’re welcome) Soon the garden will be over run with them, but before you know it they are gone. Stock up now while you can!

    The tilapia looks amazing on its own, but with that salsa it looks KILLER! I love salsas that have a little something special. I’ve been using a lot of mango, but I can’t wait to try yours with cucumber.

    I love Tilapia but my husband isn’t much of a fan so I switched to Swai and Flounder when I can’t get cod on sale. This sounds like a great recipe. I’ve never made a spicy cucumber and tomato salsa before.

  23. Kiwi says

    June 1, 2015 at 10:52 am
