Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs, plain or panko
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Eggs, large
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Fresh lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dip one tilapia fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated on both sides.
Press the fillet into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, coating it evenly and pressing gently to adhere the breading. Repeat with the remaining fillets.
Place the coated fillets onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the top of the fillets to enhance crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the oven and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
