INGREDIENTS:
- 12 oz tilapia loins, cut into fish sticks
- 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise

- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 25 oz bag of pork rinds crushed into crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Thaw the tilapia loins if they are frozen. Dab dry with a paper towel
- Cut the fish into fish stick sized pieces. This will depend on the size and shape of your tilapia loins but use your judgement. I had 3 pieces and got about 20 pieces.
- In a food processor, add the pork rinds and crush to make to crumbs. Add the parmesan cheese and spices and pulse to mix through. Then pour into a shallow bowl.
- Add the fish to a Ziplock bag with the mayo. Squish the bag to try to get the mayo all over the fish pieces.
- Take out the fish, 1 piece at a time and roll in the pork rind mixture.
