REVIEWS:

It's delicious after I cooked it until it was cooked through. I used Costco tilapia fillets which I am sure aren't more than 5 oz each, and the fish was definitely not done in 12 minutes...the fish is delicious, don't get me wrong, just check it first (unlike myself)

I used gluten-free bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs and it was delicious. Whenever I say I'm making fish for supper I usually get a big sigh, but this recipe was a huge hit and will definitely be making it again. Used 4 filets and had quite a bit mix left over so will be using more filets next time so not so much of the mix goes to waste!

This was OK. I should have read the reviews before I made it....definitely need to brush with something to get the breading to stick. Also...my Parmesan cheese burned...not sure how to fix that. But taste was OK...needed more salt.

My family enjoys fish on a regular basis. This was a simple recipe. It was quick & tasty.

Has anyone used crushed corn flakes instead of bread crumbs?

I have made this many times. It is not only delicious but easy to fix.

This recipe turned out great. It was quick to make and didn't require many ingredients. My 2 1/2 year old even liked it.

This was pretty good! I used dry instead of soft bread crumbs, and I breaded some tilapia and some cod both. I love fish but don't care for tilapia, and this recipe allowed me to tolerate the rest of the tilapia I had in the freezer! I baked spritz the fish with extra light virgin olive oil before dipping it in the bread crumb mixture. That worked fine. I also baked it for 20 minutes and got it nice and golden brown. I liked the crispy breading a lot. It had the texture of what you would put on catfish. I'm sure it would have been great with some tartar sauce, but I skipped it to keep the calories low. My 4 year old doesn't eat fish that isn't breaded, and he didn't complain about eating this fish at all. The cod was even better in this breading than the tilapia, though. Delicious!

It was very tasty. I dipped my tilapia in eggs first before dipping into the bread crumb mixture. It seemed to work.

Pretty good!

Even my 7 year old "I HATE FISH" daughter ate this and has asked for it again. I ate the leftovers the next day and it even reheated well, which very much surprised me!

It was very tasty. To get the bread crumbs to stick, brush a little olive oil on the fish.

This recipe was very good, but the bread crumb mixture didn't stick very well to the fish. Next time I will dip the fish in either milk or a beaten egg to get the crumbs to stick better.

I made this recipe using cod, and it was scrumptious! We are not really fish eaters, but are trying to eat more of it...this recipe certainly helps!

I don't like Tilapia but this was amazing!

This recipe was delicious and so easy to make. I was surprised by the amount of flavor the tilapia had with so few ingredients.

Was a hit with my 3 year old. He actually ate every bit of it that was on his plate without argument

So good. I would make it all the time.

I am trying to work more fish into our diets and this is a great recipe. My boys, 5 and 3, ate this up and wanted more after it was all gone! I appreciate that this recipe is both easy and healthy. My only complaint is that the bread crumbs didn't brown very much during the cooking time, but the tilapia was still delicious. I didn't want to overcook the fish.

This was very flavorful. We enjoyed, but my teen son prefers tilapia with lemon pepper seasoning and not bread crumbs.
