Ingredients

Scale

4 tilapia fillets

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons melted butter

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Prepare Parmesan Mixture: In a small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, melted butter, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the mixture is crumbly.

Season and Coat Tilapia: Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly distribute the Parmesan mixture over the top of each fillet, pressing down lightly to adhere.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.

Serve the baked tilapia with lemon wedges and enjoy with your favorite sides.

Notes

Success Tips: Ensure the tilapia is dry before applying the Parmesan mixture for a crispier crust.

Pairing Suggestions: Pair with roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or garlic mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
