Directions:
Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Line a baking sheet with nonstick foil.

In a shallow bowl, combine the crushed Rice Chex, oil, paprika, half the parsley, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.

Crack egg into a separate bowl and whisk.

Cut the tilapia diagonally into 1½-inch-thick strips.

Coat fish in egg, then cover with Chex crumb mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere.

Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and cook until golden brown and opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes.

While the fish is cooking, in a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, pickles, mustard, and remaining parsley.

Serve the fish with the dipping sauce and lemon wedges.
