Parmesan Crusted Tilapia

This is a recipe that is adapted from The Neelys who have a cooking show on The Food Network.  I think theirs was for a fish sandwich but we like it with a baked potato and salad just as well!

Ingredients:
Nonstick Vegetable Cooking Spray
4 Tablespoons Butter, melted
3 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
1 heaping Tablespoon Chopped Fresh Dill (or 1 scant Tablespoon Dried Dill)
1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1-2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning
Salt and black Pepper to taste
4 Tilapia Fillets
2-3 Tablespoons Finely Grated Parmesan Cheese

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Place a heavy-duty baking pan sprayed with vegetable spray in the oven to heat.
• Mix together the butter, mustard, and dill in a pie plate or shallow bowl.
• Combine bread crumbs, salt, cayenne and black peppers, and seasoning in another pie plate or shallow bowl.
• Dredge the fish through the butter mixture and then through the crumb mixture.
• Sprinkle with cheese.
• Immediately place on the hot cooking pan in the oven and bake until cooked through and lightly golden (about 15 minutes).
