Panko Crusted Tilapia

With how great the Parmesan Crusted Tilapia was last week, I’ve been meaning to try out breading the fish with panko breadcrumbs. My household was never short on breadcrumbs with my favorite being the Italian kind, but I’ve never got around to experimenting with panko.

Panko Crusted Tilapia

The breading is also seasoned with Old Bay, a classic go-to seasoning for all seafood which includes a mix of mustard, paprika, celery salt, bay leaf, black pepper, red pepper flakes, mace, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, cardamom and ginger. I have also added some chopped parsley for color and freshness.

Panko Crusted Tilapia

The result is a crispy, flaky and gorgeous tasting dish with a complimentary dipping sauce but good enough on its own.

    Tasted quite yummy! I just hate frying Tilapia since it always breaks when I flip. I baked the fish, then broiled on HI for 2 mins in the oven. I got a really nice crunch on the fish. For anyone that wants to skip frying, this worked great!

      We’ve all been there with the dreaded fish flip. I’m glad this worked out for you!

    I added dried, shredded coconut to this recipe, and it made for an absolutely amazing dinner! I’ll be making this again soon!

    That coating on top is so so good. It will be perfect, a meal to devour for our night meal. Keeping aside to be tried out when my other half is around for dinner, after all he loves such a dish more than me.
