Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a shallow dish, combine panko bread crumbs, fresh parsley, and salt. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

02

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. (Prep time: 1 minute)

03

Step

Dip each tilapia fillet into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off. Then, gently dredge the fillet in the panko mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Heat canola oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully place the breaded tilapia fillets in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

Cook the fillets until golden brown and crispy on the first side, about 4 minutes. Flip gently and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. (Cook time: 9 minutes)

06

Step

Remove the tilapia from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy! (Prep time: 1 minute)

For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or grated Parmesan cheese to the panko mixture.
If you don't have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be used, but reduce the amount to 1 tablespoon.
To ensure even cooking, use fillets of similar thickness.
Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice, tartar sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Consider using other types of white fish like cod or haddock for a similar result.
