Crispy Dill Tilapia

Every week I try to serve a new healthy fish. With its fresh dill and delicious panko bread crumb herb crust, this dish with mild tilapia is a winner. —Tamara Huron, New Market, Alabama

    Prep/Total Time: 20 min.
  • Makes
    4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons snipped fresh dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 tilapia fillets (6 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Lemon wedges

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Toss together first 5 ingredients.
  • Place tilapia in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray; brush with lemon juice. Top with crumb mixture, patting to help adhere.
  • Bake, uncovered, on an upper oven rack until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Test Kitchen tips
  • This breading would complement most types of fish. Try it on salmon if you prefer.
  • If you don't have fresh dill, a bit of fresh thyme would be great with fish and lemon.
  • Tossing the bread crumbs with a bit of oil helps it crisp up in the short amount of time it takes to cook the fish.

      Delicious and so easy to fix. We love fish, and I'm trying to add it to our menu more often. This one will be a keeper and used often.
