Tilapia is a fairly lean and firm fish which has a great earthy taste, making it perfect for people who don’t like their fish too “fishy” tasting.
Ingredients
- 2 tilapia fillets
- 100g vegetarian Parmesan, finely grated
- 40g breadcrumbs
- 1 handful parsley, finely chopped
- 1.5 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lemon, cute into wedges
Directions
- Begin by preheating the oven to 400 Fahrenheit / 200 Celsius.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, paprika, black pepper and parsley. Spread the mixture onto a large, flat baking tray and leave to one side.
- In a small jug, mix together the lemon and olive oil, Take just under half of the olive oil mixture and rub over both sides of 1 tilapia fillet, then dip into the Parmesan mixture, covering the whole fillet. Then repeat the process with the second fillet, leaving a little leftover oil.
- Once both tilapia fillets have been covered, check for any spots where the crust may not be sticking and dab a little extra oil onto it, followed by a sprinkling of the Parmesan mix.
- Place both of the tilapia fillets in the oven and leave to cook for around 20 minutes. You will know the tilapia us done when the crust turns a golden brown color and the tilapia fresh is white and flaky.
