Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, zested
  • 1 pinch garlic powder, or more to taste
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 tilapia fillets
  • canola oil, or more as needed

Directions

Step 1
Put flour and eggs into 2 separate dishes. Combine bread crumbs, cilantro, lime zest, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a third dish.

Step 2
Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. Put 1 fillet in flour, coat both sides, and gently shake off excess. Dip into eggs, turning once, then dredge in the bread crumb mixture to coat. Repeat with remaining fillets.

Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place fillets in the skillet and cook until crust is golden and fish is easy to lift with a spatula, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until fish flakes easily with a fork, another 3 to 4 minutes.

Recipe Tip

You can use parsley instead of cilantro if preferred.
