Baked Lemon Breadcrumb Tilapia

Not that many people probably remember, but, this is very similar to a recipe I posted a while back for Tilapia Oreganata, but I had to post this.  It's just too tasty and too simple not to share.  The topping is zesty and crunchy and goes perfectly with an easy lemon aioli.
