Tips:

  • Choose fresh tilapia fillets. Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Pat the tilapia fillets dry before cooking. This will help the coating to adhere better and prevent the fish from steaming.
  • Use a light hand when breading the tilapia fillets. Too much breading will make the fish tough and dry.
  • Cook the tilapia fillets in a hot oven. This will help the fish to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Serve the tilapia fillets immediately. This will ensure that the fish is at its best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Parmesan-puffed tilapia is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tilapia fillets are coated in a flavorful breadcrumb mixture and then baked in the oven until golden brown and flaky. The result is a crispy on the outside, tender on the inside fish dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
