Cooking Steps
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.

- Toss tilapia with 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) mayo and half the Cajun Spice Blend in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine panko and remaining Cajun Spice Blend in a shallow dish.
- Working with 4 tilapia pieces at a time, toss into panko mixture, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. (NOTE: Use 2 baking sheets for 4 ppl).
- Repeat in batches until all tilapia pieces are coated.
- Drizzle 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over tilapia. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, use 1 tbsp oil per baking sheet.)
- Bake in the middle of the oven, carefully flipping halfway through, until cooked through and golden-brown, 14-15 min.** (NOTE: For 4 ppl, bake in the middle and bottom of the oven).
- Meanwhile, stir together half the ketchup (use all for 4 ppl), sweet chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic in a small bowl. (NOTE: Reference garlic guide.)
- Set aside.
- Whisk together remaining mayo, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) vinegar, 1 tsp (2 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add carrots, spring mix and croutons. Toss together.
- Divide popcorn tilapia and chopped salad between plates.
- Serve DIY seafood sauce alongside for dipping. (NOTE: Tilapia will be very hot. Set aside to cool slightly before digging in.)
If you've opted to get tilapia, pat dry then cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Coat and cook tilapia in the same way the recipe instructs you to coat and cook the shrimp.**
