Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the all-purpose flour. In the second dish, whisk the eggs and milk together. In the third dish, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip the fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Finally, press the fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure it is fully coated on all sides.
Carefully place the breaded fillets into the preheated skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the breaded tilapia fillets with lemon wedges on the side for a refreshing squeeze of citrus.
