Low FODMAP Crispy Parmesan Tilapia
Flaky tilapia with a shatteringly crisp, golden crust is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels way more impressive than the effort involved — and this version serves four without a single digestive compromise. The coating is built from gluten-free breadcrumbs and finely grated Parmesan, seasoned with smoked paprika and dried oregano for a crust that's savory, smoky, and deeply satisfying. Getting that garlic flavor without the gut-wrenching aftermath is one of the trickier parts of cooking this way, and garlic-infused oil solves it beautifully — all the aromatic depth, none of the fructan load. Pan-frying in batches keeps the crust crispy rather than steamy, and the whole process moves fast enough that dinner is on the table before anyone starts raiding the snack cabinet. A squeeze of lemon and a scatter of scallion greens (the green tops are the safe part) brighten everything up at the end. It's the kind of recipe that proves eating for a sensitive gut doesn't mean settling for bland or boring.
