This recipe offers a delightful way to prepare tilapia with a crispy herb-infused crust, perfect for a satisfying and flavorful meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking pan.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise, and juice from the lemon until smooth.
Whisk thoroughly to ensure the mixture coats the fish evenly.
In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, thyme, and parsley.
Mix well to evenly distribute the herbs and spices.
Dip each tilapia fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, then press into the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly.
Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the fish for a thicker crust.
Place the coated fillets onto the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Check the fish at 20 minutes to avoid overcooking.
Serve the crispy herb-crusted tilapia with a wedge of lemon and your favorite side dish.
Garnish with extra parsley for a fresh touch.
