Herb Crusted Tilapia with Tomato Salsa

Everyone loves fish in a crunchy breadcrumb crust. The trouble is most fish-in-a-crust recipes are either pan fried or deep-fried, which means extra fat and calories. These quick-and-easy tilapia fillets are broiled, which leaves them crispy, tender and lean.
