Panko Crusted Tilapia Recipes

PANKO CRUSTED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375%. Spray a baking pan lightly with cooking oil.
• In a shallow dish, combine melted margarine, garlic powder, and lemon juice. In a separate shallow dish, combine panko and Old Bay seasoning.
• Dip each filet in butter mixture, then roll well in the panko mixture. Place filets in a single layer onto prepared pan.
• Press any remaining panko mixture onto tops of filets.
• Bake 12-14 minutes, until flaky. Serve with lemon wedges.

CRISPY BREADED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Combine panko, parsley, and salt on a dinner plate. Mix egg and milk together in a bowl.
• Dip fillets into the milk mixture and shake off excess. Lightly dredge in panko mixture.
• Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add fillets and cook until golden brown on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook until fillets are no longer translucent in the center and they easily flake with a fork, about 5 minutes more. Serve immediately.

PANKO-CRUSTED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a shallow bowl, mix panko, garlic, thyme, cayenne, and a generous pinch of both salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to panko mixture, mixing with fingers so that breadcrumbs are evenly coated. Set aside.
• Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Place tilapia fillets on baking sheet at least 1 inch apart. Spread 1/2 tsp dijon mustard (or more to taste) evenly on each fillet. Press panko mixture on top of the mustard, splitting the panko evenly among the four fillets.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, until fish is cooked through and will flake with a fork.

PANKO-CRUSTED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Put flour and eggs into 2 separate dishes. Combine bread crumbs, cilantro, lime zest, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a third dish.
• Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. Put 1 fillet in flour, coat both sides, and gently shake off excess. Dip into eggs, turning once, then dredge in the bread crumb mixture to coat. Repeat with remaining fillets.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place fillets in the skillet and cook until crust is golden and fish is easy to lift with a spatula, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until fish flakes easily with a fork, another 3 to 4 minutes.
