Parmesan Crusted Tilapia: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 tilapia fillets
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 2 large eggs
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– Lemon wedges (for serving)


Instructions

Follow these clear steps to create your Parmesan Crusted Tilapia:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Coating: In a bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Prepare the Egg Wash: In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. This will help the crust adhere to the fish.
4. Coat the Tilapia: Dip each tilapia fillet into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, press each fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coat on both sides.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for even cooking.
6. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the coated fillets for added flavor and to promote browning.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
8. Check for Doneness: The tilapia should easily flake with a fork when it is done. If needed, you can broil for an additional 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness.
9. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

With these simple steps, you’ll have a delicious entrée ready to enjoy in no time!
