I am a person who loves everything that comes from the sea. I just love it! Fish, shrimp, calamari, lobster, crab… Really, if it comes from the sea, chances are great that I’ll really like it, specially if it has a crunchy crust like in this baked panko fish.
But the truth is, sometimes you are just tired of using the same recipe for white fish over and over again. I mean, fish is great, but when you find a great new recipe, it tastes even better.
Moist and crunchy Panko Fish
In this Baked Panko Tilapia, what I like the most is the crunchy texture on top. This takes our old Tilapia fillet to a whole new level.
The fish is seasoned with salt, old bay and lemon juice. Nothing fancy or extraordinary, but it just tastes so good. Then you top it off with the Panko crumbs, mixed with Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder and butter, creating a delicious paste that will cover your whole fish.
The ending result is a delicious and very moist fish, with a delicate flavor and a yummy crunchy crust.
My kids love it! Because of the crunchy topping, they feel like they are eating fish nuggets (but larger and much healthier).
What I love about fish recipes is that they cook so fast! They are the perfect option for busy days, when you don’t have much time for cooking. You can have this recipe ready in just 20 minutes!
It’s also easy to make! No skills are necessary here. You basically sprinkle the fish with seasonings, mix the toppings together, spread over the fish, and bake it. That’s it.
So, if you were looking for a great fish recipe, that brings flavor and texture to your mouth, then look no further. This recipe will sure please your family, including the kids!
