Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces tilapia fillets
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • 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.
