A simple yet flavorful recipe for crispy oven-baked tilapia, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Pat the tilapia fillet dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Drying the fish helps the coating adhere better.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg until well mixed. In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the breadcrumbs and spices thoroughly for an even flavor.
Dip the tilapia fillet into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Press the breadcrumbs gently onto the fish to ensure they stick well.
Place the coated tilapia on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
For extra crispiness, lightly spray the fish with cooking spray before baking.
Flip the tilapia fillet over and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Use a spatula to flip the fish gently to avoid breaking the coating.
Serve the crispy tilapia immediately with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
Garnish with a lemon wedge for a fresh burst of flavor.
