We love fish and tilapia is so good and easy to fix. The Parmesan cheese in the Panko adds a great change of flavor. Pairs well with the pan-grilled new potatoes and some seasoned green beans.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you prefer a milder fish, then tilapia is for you and we highly suggest trying this Parmesan-crusted recipe. Once pan-fried, the crust is very crispy but inside the tilapia is flaky. If you want to add more spice to the coating, add some Cajun seasoning or cayenne pepper. Serve with a side salad, for a lighter dinner.
