Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (plain or panko)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and water until fully combined.
Rinse and pat dry the tilapia fillets with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Next, press the fillet into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, flipping and pressing to coat both sides evenly. Shake off any excess coating.
Place the coated fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Lightly spray the top of the fillets with cooking spray or drizzle with a small amount of olive oil to help the crust crisp up during baking.
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 from the oven and let sit for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a side of vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
