Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Tilapia fillets
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- In a shallow dish, mix together the Parmesan cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps the crust stick better.
- Drizzle the olive oil lightly over both sides of the fish fillets.
- Press each fillet firmly into the Parmesan mixture, coating both sides completely.
- Place the coated fillets onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque throughout and the crust is golden brown and crisp. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute tilapia with cod or haddock for a similar result.
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the cooked fish before serving.
- Ensure your oven is fully preheated for the best crust development.
