Ingredients
3-4 Tilapia Fillets
¼ C. Bread Crumbs (or Crushed Ritz Crackers)
¼ C. Grated Parmesan Cheese
-
1 Tbsp. Italian Seasoning Blend
-
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
-
Kosher Salt (to Taste)
-
Fine Ground Black Pepper (to Taste)
Directions
Preheat oven to 425°F while you oil an ovenproof dish. Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian Seasoning Blend, and garlic powder on a shallow plate; make sure the ingredients are well mixed.
Pour the lemon juice out on another shallow dish.
Working with one fillet at a time, place a piece of fish on the plate with the lemon juice, season the piece to taste with kosher salt, black pepper, and a little additional garlic powder, if desired. Turn fish over in the lemon juice to moisten the fillet, and season.
Dredge fillet in the parmesan-bread crumb mixture, patting it all over to coat each side completely.
Place fillet in prepared oiled baking dish; repeat process with remaining fish. Sprinkle a little lemon juice over entire pan, and drizzle with a little more olive oil.
Bake fish for about 20 min, or until fish easily flakes with a fork and fillet edges are brown.
Recipe Note
Substitute Gusto Pizza Co. Pizza Seasoning Blend for the Italian Seasoning Blend for a variation on the original recipe.
Our Butter Infused Olive Oil or Eureka Lemon Fused Olive Oil work well in place of an unflavored Extra Virgin Olive Oil in this recipe.
