Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Whole-grain mustard
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and whole-grain mustard until well combined.
In a separate shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, spread a thin layer of the mustard mixture evenly over one side of each tilapia fillet.
Press the mustard-coated side of the fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it sticks and forms an even crust.
Place the fillets crust-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of each fillet to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The crust should be golden brown.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fillets.
