Serves 4

An homage to the breaded and baked fish at Luby's cafeteria in Texas, this tilapia goes Tex-Mex with a salty corn-chip crust.

Fish:
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 4 6-ounce tilapia fillets
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup finely crushed tortilla chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 egg
Jalapeño tartar sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 jalapeño, stemmed, seeded, and finely diced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.

Sprinkle lime juice on both sides of fish, then season both sides with salt and pepper. Stir together tortilla chips and cayenne on a plate. Beat egg in a bowl. Dip each fillet in egg, then roll in chips. Place each coated fillet on prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until fish flakes.

While fish is baking, make tartar sauce: Mix together mayonnaise, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice. Season to taste with salt. Serve with cooked fish.
