Tilapia is one of those fish that doesn’t taste too fishy and even non-seafood lovers enjoy. It is also easy to prepare and pretty healthy, in the traditional sense at least, especially this easy Parmesan Crusted Tilapia!
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs*, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper. When mixed, drizzle in the melted 3 tablespoons butter. It will resemble wet sand.
Place the 4 large tilapia filets onto the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the breadcrumb mixture over the top of each evenly.
Bake the filets for 17-20 minutes. At the very end, turn on the broiler for 1 minute just to get a little browning. Watch carefully to not burn!
Remove and serve with fresh lemon or sauce of your choice.
