Ingredients

• 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.

Step 2

Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Sprinkle the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture evenly over each fillet, pressing gently to adhere the topping.

Step 6

Bake the tilapia in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden and crispy.

Remove from the oven and let the fillets rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
