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)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and set them aside on a plate.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Brush a light layer of olive oil over both sides of each tilapia fillet and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Divide the sorrel mixture evenly among the fillets, pressing it gently onto the top of each piece to form a firm crust.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove the tilapia from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the sorrel-encrusted tilapia warm with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, citrusy finish.
