Ingredients

  • 2 tilapia fillets
  • 100g vegetarian Parmesan, finely grated
  • 40g breadcrumbs
  • 1 handful parsley, finely chopped
  • 1.5 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon, cute into wedges

Directions

  1. 1

    Begin by preheating the oven to 400 Fahrenheit / 200 Celsius.

  2. 2

    In a mixing bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, paprika, black pepper and parsley. Spread the mixture onto a large, flat baking tray and leave to one side.

  3. 3

    In a small jug, mix together the lemon and olive oil, Take just under half of the olive oil mixture and rub over both sides of 1 tilapia fillet, then dip into the Parmesan mixture, covering the whole fillet. Then repeat the process with the second fillet, leaving a little leftover oil.

  4. 4

    Once both tilapia fillets have been covered, check for any spots where the crust may not be sticking and dab a little extra oil onto it, followed by a sprinkling of the Parmesan mix.

  5. 5

    Place both of the tilapia fillets in the oven and leave to cook for around 20 minutes. You will know the tilapia us done when the crust turns a golden brown colour and the tilapia fresh is white and flaky.
