Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 461kcal
Ingredients
- 4 medium tilapia fillets
- 1 ½ cups fresh breadcrumbs (see note)
- ⅓ cup chopped parsley
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil to grease the pan
- salt and pepper to taste
- lemon wedges to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Place the tilapia pieces on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, and butter.
- Divide the breadcrumb mixture between the fish pieces and coat them evenly. (Press the breadcrumbs with your hands or the back of a spoon slightly, to make sure they are covering the fish nicely.)
- Now, the only step left is to bake these beauties. You’ll need to bake the fillets for about 15-20 minutes, depending on how thick they are. I would suggest keeping an eye on the fish during the last 3 minutes, as the breadcrumbs can easily burn.

NOTE: to make a cup of fresh breadcrumbs, just place 4 slices of slightly stale (at least one-day old) bread in a food processor and process until breadcrumbs form. Italian or regular white bread will work the best for this recipe.
