How to Make Baked Parmesan Tilapia
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Set aside.
- 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.
- Dip each tilapia fillet (about 6, 4-6 oz each) into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
- Press both sides of the fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Place the coated fillets in the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
