Panko-Crusted Tilapia image

Such a quick and delicious dish. This is inspired by Ina Garten's Panko-Crusted Salmon, although I modified it to use ingredients I already had in my kitchen and to use slightly less oil. It was absolutely perfect paired with roasted asparagus.

Time 15m

Yield 4 fillets, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon thyme, dried
1 dash cayenne (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper
16 ounces tilapia fillets (skinless)
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix panko, garlic, thyme, cayenne, and a generous pinch of both salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to panko mixture, mixing with fingers so that breadcrumbs are evenly coated. Set aside.
  • Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Place tilapia fillets on baking sheet at least 1 inch apart. Spread 1/2 tsp dijon mustard (or more to taste) evenly on each fillet. Press panko mixture on top of the mustard, splitting the panko evenly among the four fillets.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until fish is cooked through and will flake with a fork.
