1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (lowest sodium available) -
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (crumbled) -
4 tilapia fillets (about 4 ounces each) -
1/8 tsp pepper and 1/8 teaspoon pepper (divided use) -
1/2 cup whole-wheat panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs) -

Preheat the broiler. Line two small baking sheets or one large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly spray with cooking spray. -
In a cup, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, and oregano. -
Put the fish on one of the small baking sheets or half the large baking sheet. Sprinkle the top of the fish with 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Spread the mayonnaise mixture over the top of the fish. Sprinkle with the panko. -
Place the tomatoes on the second baking sheet or the other half of the large baking sheet. Sprinkle the tomatoes with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Lightly spray the fish and tomatoes with cooking spray. -
