                                          • Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
                                          • Preheat oven to 400 °F.
                                          • Line steam table pan (12" x 20" x 2½") with parchment paper. Place a baking rack on top of steam table pan. Spray rack with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
                                            For 25 servings, use 1 pan.
                                            For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
                                          • In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Herbs de Provence. Mix.
                                          • Lightly coat each piece of fish with mayonnaise. Top coated fish with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture.

                                          Notes

                                          • Contains fish (tilapia), eggs (mayonnaise), and wheat (breadcrumbs).  Breadcrumbs can be a hidden source of common allergens, which include
                                            milk, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, shellfish, soy, wheat, and sesame.
                                          • Sesame can appear as an ingredient in food where it might not be expected
                                            (breadcrumbs) and may be included in the ingredients statements as “spice”
                                            or “flavoring.”
                                          • Can use pollock, catfish, grouper, haddock, cod, halibut, rockfish, sole, or bass
                                            instead of tilapia.
                                          • Can substitute Italian seasoning (dried) for Herbs de Provence.
                                          • Choking Risk: Fish with bones can be a choking risk for children under the
                                            age of four. Remove all bones from fish before cooking or serving.
