Description
This 4-Ingredient Parmesan Crusted Tilapia features tender, flaky fish topped with a savory mixture of Parmesan cheese, crunchy Panko breadcrumbs, and melted butter. An easy seafood dinner made with just four simple ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Tilapia fillets (about 1 pound total)
- 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Thaw the tilapia completely if using frozen fillets. Pat the fish dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Arrange the four tilapia fillets in a single layer in a prepared baking dish or on a baking sheet.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs and finely shredded Parmesan cheese.
- Pour in the melted unsalted butter and mix until the breadcrumbs and cheese are evenly moistened.
- Divide the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture evenly among the four tilapia fillets. Gently press the topping onto each fillet.
- Bake using the selected oven temperature and cooking time until the fish is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Notes
- Pat the tilapia dry before adding the topping to help the breadcrumb mixture adhere.
- Finely shredded Parmesan distributes more evenly throughout the Panko.
- Avoid overcooking the fish to keep it tender and flaky.
