Simple Parmesan Crusted Tilapia
My favorite meal is a crispy breaded piece of fish, and this Simple Parmesan-Crusted Tilapia is no exception! This simple way to prepare fish fillets has explosive flavor. The exterior is crunchy and perfectly seasoned with Parmesan and crunchy panko breadcrumbs while the inside is tender and flaky. This recipe will be in the regular rotation for weekly meals.
