Categories     Seafood     Fish     Tilapia

Time 20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning
½ cup salted butter, melted
⅛ cup dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil.
  • Place fillets on the prepared pan. Stir parsley and lemon-pepper seasoning into the melted butter in a small bowl. Baste fillets with the butter mixture using a turkey baster, using the entire mixture. Sprinkle fillets with bread crumbs.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh tilapia fillets: Fresh tilapia fillets should be firm to the touch and have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Use a light hand with the flour: When breading the tilapia fillets, use a light hand with the flour to prevent the coating from becoming too thick. A thin coating of flour will help the bread crumbs adhere to the fish.
  • Press the bread crumbs firmly into the fillets: After coating the fillets in flour, press the bread crumbs firmly into the fish. This will help to ensure that the coating stays in place during cooking.
  • Shallow fry the fillets in hot oil: When frying the tilapia fillets, use a shallow fryer or a large skillet with a small amount of oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat and then carefully place the fillets in the oil. Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the fillets with your favorite sides: Lemon pepper Parmesan-breaded tilapia can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also serve the fillets with a lemon wedge and a dollop of tartar sauce.

Conclusion:

Lemon pepper Parmesan-breaded tilapia is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tilapia fillets are coated in a flavorful breading made with lemon pepper seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and bread crumbs. The fillets are then shallow fried until they are golden brown and cooked through. Serve the fillets with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
