Follow the trail of breadcrumbs and it will lead you to a fish dinner par excellence. Panko mixed with Mexican-inspired spices, to be more precise, provides a crunchy topping for flaky fillets of tilapia. It bakes alongside fry-size lengths of zucchini on the same sheet pan to minimize mess. All that remains to do is whip together our avocado purée, sour cream, lime and cilantro, for a sauce to set the stage on each plate.
