Crispy Baked Tilapia Recipe

Crispy Baked Tilapia Recipe

The recipe I’m sharing today is a perfect option for busy weeknights. Tilapia has a nice mild flavor, so it’s great for picky palates. Add a crisp coating and a hint of Parmesan, and you have a winner.

I like to pair this fish with homemade mashed potatoes and steamed green beans. Yum!

Ingredients

• ½ cup Panko or regular breadcrumbs (check for clean ingredients!)
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (or 1 tsp each oregano and parsley)
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 lb tilapia filets

Instructions

1. In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and paprika. In another shallow bowl, melt butter.
2. Pat tilapia filets dry with a paper towel. Dip in butter then coat with crumb mixture, pressing crumbs into the filet to help them stick.
3. Place in a greased baking dish and sprinkle any remaining crumb mixture on top if desired.
4. Bake at 425° for 12-14 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork and coating is golden brown and crisp.
