So, what is this meal I speak of? Baked Tilapia Parmesan. I can't remember exactly how I came across this recipe. I want to say I was using Ziplist to search. (Ziplist, if you are unfamiliar with it, ROCKS! Go check it out!)
Back to the recipe. I need to give a much deserved THANK YOU to Nikki at Now We're Cooking for sharing this recipe. It has been a family favorite since the first bite.

Ok, so yes - South Beach Phase 1 does not allow for butter. Simple solution - I substituted Smart Balance Spread. Tastes just fine!
