Parmesan Crusted Tilapia

Method

  1. 1

    Pat tilapia dry with a paper towel, then set up a station for dredging the fish. In a large bowl, mix parmesan, flour, bread crumbs, chopped parsley, rosemary, salt, pepper, and minced garlic.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg.

  3. 3

    Use tongs to dip the tilapia in the whisked egg. Be sure to coat the fish.

  4. 4

    Then, dip the fish in the parmesan bowl.

  5. 5

    Flip to evenly cover each side. Pat down the cheese over the fish to help it adhere.

  6. 6

    Heat ¼ cup olive oil over medium high heat.

  7. 7

    Once the oil has reached temp, add the tilapia filets.

  8. 8

    Cook 3 minutes per side.

  9. 9

    Place on a paper towel lined plate to allow the excess oil to drip off.

  10. 10

    Garnish with fresh parsley or dill.

  11. 11

    Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Oil that is not hot enough will cause the fish to absorb the oil and will make it too greasy. Check the temperature to be sure it is hot enough by dipping the end of a wooden spoon into the oil. If it slightly bubbles it is perfect, if it bubbles too much turn down the heat and try again.
