Ingredients
- 4 tilapia fillets
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- ¾ cup parmesan cheese grated
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Set up the dredge station. To a shallow dish, add the eggs and then beat them. Stir in the mayonnaise and lemon juice and mix well. To a second shallow dish, add the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix well.
- Dip each tilapia fillet first into the egg mixture so it's coated. Then dip it into the breadcrumbs mixture, making sure each side is well-coated. Place the fillets into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through (internal temperature of 145 degrees F). This fish should be white and flaky on the inside. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
