This recipe offers a flavorful and easy way to prepare tilapia, featuring a spiced herb crust that enhances the fish's natural taste.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the salt, smoked paprika, onion powder, dry mustard, garlic powder, ground black pepper, cumin, and dried basil.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
In a shallow dish, mix the chopped green onions, dried parsley, and panko breadcrumbs.
Use fresh green onions for a brighter flavor.
Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over both sides of the tilapia fillets.
Pat the fish dry before seasoning to help the spices adhere better.
Add olive oil to the breadcrumb mixture and mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Using your hands to mix ensures the oil is evenly distributed.
Press each tilapia fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides.
Press firmly to ensure the crust adheres well to the fish.
Place the coated fillets on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray.
Ensure the fillets are spaced apart for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes, then flip the fillets and bake for another 6 minutes, or until the fish is flaky and cooked through.
Flipping the fish halfway ensures even cooking on both sides.
Serve the baked tilapia immediately with your choice of sides.
Garnish with a wedge of lemon for a fresh touch.
