How to Make Baked Parmesan Tilapia

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Set aside.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  4. Dip each tilapia fillet (about 6, 4-6 oz each) into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
  5. Press both sides of the fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Place the coated fillets in the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
