How to Make Easy Parmesan Crusted Tilapia

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Drizzle 4 (4-6 ounce) tilapia fillets with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Dredge each tilapia fillet in the Parmesan mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
