Ingredients
Tilapia
  • 2 Tilapia fillets
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs( I used panko breadcrumbs first time, second time I used my homemade seasoned bread crumbs) (Both taste equally delicious)
  • Salt & Black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp freshly grated parmesan
  • 1-2 tbsp butter, melted
Cilantro-Lime rice
  • ½ cup rice, uncooked, cook as per package directions
  • 3-4 tbsp freshly chopped cilantro
  • Salt to taste
  • 1-2 tbsp lime juice
Instructions
  1. Pre heat oven to 400F.
  2. Using a pastry brush, spread melted butter all over the tilapia fillet.
  3. Now in a plate mix breadcrumbs and parmesan. If using panko, make sure you season them well. If using my homemade seasoned breadcrumbs, no need to season more.
  4. Lay the butter coated tilapia over the mix and press by hands so each side gets evenly coated with the breadcrumb-parmesan mix.
  5. Transfer to a lined and sprayed with oil baking sheet. Cook in oven for 7 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until cooked through. The inside will turn opaque and it will be flaky when touched with a fork.
  6. Serve over rice or with mashed potatoes or your choice of sides.
Rice
  1. Cook rice as per package directions. Once cooked, fluff it using a fork. To it add, cilantro, salt and lime juice. Mix and taste.
