This recipe elevates the classic baked tilapia with a flavorful herb-infused butter and a crispy topping.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even cooking.
Grease a baking dish with a small amount of butter.
Use a brush or paper towel to evenly spread the butter.
Place the tilapia fillets in the greased baking dish.
Ensure the fillets are in a single layer for even cooking.
Melt the butter and mix it with the parsley, thyme, paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are well combined.
Drizzle the herb butter evenly over the tilapia fillets.
Use a spoon to distribute the butter mixture evenly.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the fillets to create a crispy topping.
Press the breadcrumbs lightly to help them adhere to the fish.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture during the initial cooking phase.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5-8 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Check the fish for doneness by gently flaking it with a fork.
Serve the baked tilapia hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
