CRISPY BAKED TILAPIA



Crispy Baked Tilapia image

Enjoy the crispiness of fried fish with a simpler and healthier recipe. Toasted panko bread crumbs (crunchier than traditional bread crumbs) create a flavorful coating for tilapia fillets, but the mixture could also be used with other fish, like salmon. Adjust the cooking time based on thickness of fillets.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2/3 cup panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the pan
2 teaspoons dried basil
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 (5.0-ounce) tilapia fillets

Steps:

  • Spread bread crumbs on a rimmed baking sheet and place into the oven.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F, toasting bread crumbs while the oven preheats. Timing will depend on the oven, but it should take about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet when bread crumbs are lightly golden, stirring once (watch carefully so crumbs don't burn).
  • Meanwhile, stir together zest, oil, basil, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Stir in toasted bread crumbs and mix until evenly blended.
  • Brush the baking sheet lightly with additional oil.
  • Pat fillets dry with paper towels.
  • Coat both sides of fillets by pressing into crumb mixture in the bowl and then place them onto the oiled baking sheet.
  • Press remaining crumbs on top of fillets. Bake until fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 15 minutes.

CRISPY BREADED TILAPIA



Crispy Breaded Tilapia image

This breaded tilapia provides a quick and tasty meal that my family loves!

Provided by Indy Chef

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Tilapia

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

¾ cup panko bread crumbs
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
¾ tablespoon salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon milk
4 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets, halved
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Combine panko, parsley, and salt on a dinner plate. Mix egg and milk together in a bowl.
  • Dip fillets into the milk mixture and shake off excess. Lightly dredge in panko mixture.
  • Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add fillets and cook until golden brown on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook until fillets are no longer translucent in the center and they easily flake with a fork, about 5 minutes more. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to score the tilapia fillets. This will help the marinade penetrate the fish and result in a more flavorful dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. If the fillets are too close together, they won't cook evenly.
  • Bake the tilapia until it is cooked through. The fish is done when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the tilapia immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Crunchy oven-baked tilapia is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fish. The crispy coating and tender, flaky flesh make this dish a favorite for both kids and adults. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a restaurant-quality meal in no time.
