Parmesan Crusted Tilapia

Parmesan Crusted Tilapia is one of my favorites to make for our weeknight dinners at home. I love how easily I can put the dish together with basic pantry ingredients and one simple trick.

The baked parmesan tilapia turns out delightfully crisp on the outside and incredibly moist on the inside with hardly any effort. There’s no messy dipping in eggs and dredging in flour required!

Tips on How to Make Parmesan Crusted Tilapia

  • The simple hack I use is brushing the fish fillets with mayonnaise before coating them in breadcrumbs. This little step makes the bread coating stick well and the fish extra moist and flavorful.
  • Make sure to pat the fish fillets well before applying the mayonnaise.
  • For extra crunch, swap regular breadcrumbs with Panko.
  • To help the coating brown in the oven, spray the breaded fish with non-stick cooking spray or lightly drizzle with melted butter.

What to Serve with Baked Tilapia

Complete your meal with delicious sides of ranch potatoes or rice pilaf and roasted vegetables or tossed salad. Serve the baked fish with lemon wedges to add fresh flavor.

    I was looking for a new parmesan crusted tilapia recipe and I came across this one. I was concerned that it may need a little kick, so I sprinkled in Slap ya Mamma seasonings into the flour. I like spicy things. It turned our great! I ate 3 whole pieces and served homemade coleslaw on the side. Next time I’m going to try the Panko crumbs. This is definitely a keeper. Thank you so much, great recipe!
