Baked tilapia with savory Parmesan crust and tangy sun-dried tomatoes, topped with optional sweet berry sauce.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup fine breadcrumbs, seasoned or unseasoned, or 2 cups Panko
  • An additional 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning if you are using unseasoned breadcrumbs or Panko
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tilapia fillets, about 1 1/3 pounds
  • Flour for dusting, about 1/3 cup
  • 1 beaten egg
  • Optional berry sauce
  • 2 cups mixed berries (frozen work well)
  • 1/4 cup water
Instructions:
  • Prepare the flavorful breading mix by combining breadcrumbs, seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and Parmesan cheese in a food processor. Pulse until evenly mixed. Then add sun-dried tomatoes and olive oil, pulsing until a coarse meal forms.
  • Prepare the pan by coating the bottom of a roasting pan with olive oil and then set it aside. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Prepare the breading station: Rinse the tilapia fillets, pat dry, and set aside. Spread flour on a plate. Place beaten egg in a shallow bowl next to the flour. Set up breadcrumb mixture in a separate bowl. Dredge each fillet in flour, coat with egg, and cover with breadcrumbs. Press gently to adhere the mixture. Transfer the breaded fillets to a roasting pan.
  • To bake the tilapia fillets, put the baking pan in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes until the tilapia is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. While the fish cooks, you can prepare the berry sauce. Let the fish sit for a minute or two before serving. Serve with lemon slices for drizzling and/or the berry sauce on the side.
  • Create the berry sauce (optional): Combine berries, 1/4 cup of water, and sugar in a small saucepan. Simmer and lightly crush berries with a potato masher or fork until slightly broken. Cook uncovered until the sauce thickens into a syrup.
