Baked Fish Nuggets - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    5 pieces tilapia fillets, defrosted
    1/2 cup skim milk
    3/4 cup fresh breadcrumb
    3/4 cup cornmeal
    1 teaspoon ground pepper
    cooking spray
    salt
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the fresh bread crumbs on a cookie sheet and place them in the oven until they are toasted (3-5 minutes). Take them out and set them aside to cool.
    Turn the oven up to 425 degrees.
    Cut the tilapia into slices about one inch thick. (I cut mine on the short side because my kids are small and like small nuggets.).
    Put the tilapia in a bowl and add the milk. Stir well.
    In a large ziploc type bag add the toasted bread crumbs, cornmeal, and pepper.
    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fish from the milk and put the pieces into the bag. Seal it and then shake it up so all the pieces are coated.
    Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
    Place the nuggets on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with salt.
    Bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 15-25 minutes.
