There is nothing better than a quick weeknight meal on a busy weeknight. This easy easy tilapia recipe hits the mark on both counts! Tender tilapia fillets are dipped in an egg mixture, coated with parmesan seasoned panko crumbs and pan-fried till golden brown. This Parmesan Crusted Tilapia recipe will conquer the “same old thing for dinner” blues!

Swap Any White Fish
If you don’t have tilapia on hand, this easy recipe works with any white fish. If the filet is thicker you may need to add an extra minute or two to ensure it’s cooked to perfection.
What is Tilapia?
Tilapia is a white fish, similar in taste and texture to cod however, the texture of tilapia is a bit more firm. Tilapia will flake when cooked and is very versatile for many recipes from Easy Fish Tacos to Blackened Fish and our all-time favorite, Parmesan Broiled Tilapia. Tilapia is a freshwater farmed fish grown in many countries around the world, including the US and Canada. Fish is good for you, it is a great way to add variety to your table and it takes just minutes to prepare.
How to Make Parmesan Crusted Fish
Tilapia can be baked, broiled, fried or poached. I love the simplicity of Baked Tilapia but I love the crust and flavor of Parmesan Crusted Chicken so putting the two together is the perfect quick meal mashup!
How to Cook Tilapia
For all methods, it is a good idea to use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (145°F). The fish will flake easily when it is done.
TIP: The breading is fairly light. To ensure it doesn’t fall off, allow the fish to rest for a minute or two before serving it.
