If you google “parmesan crusted tilapia”, you’ll get one hundred and one versions of this recipe. My version, really, is not much different from the one hundred and one you’ll find as it basically works with the same principle of seasoning, breading and baking the fish. What I really want to share with you is a simple trick I use. Ready? I brush the fish fillets with mayonnaise before dipping them in bread crumbs. This little step, I find, makes the bread coating stick well and the fish extra moist and flavorful.
