This recipe for Crispy Parmesan Crusted Tilapia features a flavorful and crunchy coating that makes for a delicious and healthy meal. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. Dredge each fillet first in the flour, then dip into the whisked eggs, and finally coat evenly with the panko-Parmesan mixture.
Place the coated fillets onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Notes
You can serve this tilapia with a lemon wedge, tartar sauce, or a fresh side salad. For an extra crispy crust, you can broil for the last minute of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.
