Ingredients

4 servings

4 tilapia fillets (about 6 oz each)
½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
Chef's tip
Choose a grated-style vegan parmesan and use the same amount.
⅓ cup plain breadcrumbs
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 large eggs
3 tbsp olive oil

For serving

lemon wedges, for serving
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels and set aside. In a shallow dish, whisk together the Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined. In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
2
Working one fillet at a time, dip the tilapia into the beaten egg, letting any excess drip off, then press it firmly into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides and the edges. Set the coated fillets on a plate.
