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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Step 3
In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and water until fully combined.
Step 4
Rinse and pat dry the tilapia fillets with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 5
Next, press the fillet into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, flipping and pressing to coat both sides evenly. Shake off any excess coating.
Step 6
Place the coated fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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 9
Remove from the oven and let sit for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm with a side of vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
