Tilapia fillets coated in a Parmesan and whole wheat panko crust with garlic, Italian herbs, and paprika, baked until golden and crispy. A leaner take on crispy fish, served with fresh lemon.
Ingredients
- 4 tilapia fillets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)
- Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Pat the tilapia fillets dry and brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
In a shallow bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Press the top side of each fillet into the mixture, coating evenly.
Place the fish crust-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
