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.
