Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 1 cup Fresh sorrel leaves, chopped
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
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 on a plate.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped sorrel leaves, panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a moist crumbly mixture.
Brush a light layer of olive oil over both sides of each tilapia fillet and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Divide the sorrel mixture evenly among the fillets, pressing it gently onto the top of each piece to form a firm crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the tilapia from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the sorrel-encrusted tilapia warm with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, citrusy finish.
