Panko Encrusted Tilapia

Earlier this summer I made this recipe from pinterest.  We both loved it so much that I made it again tonight and it was just as good!  I've made a few adjustments to make it a little easier (based on the ingredients I had).  This recipe is made for 2 people.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tilapia fillets, 4 oz. each
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 egg white, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons parsley
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or olive oil, if you prefer) 

  • Directions: 
    In 3 different shallow dishes, put egg white, flour, and panko breadcrumbs.  Combine panko breadcrumbs with seasonings.  Coat fish on both sides in flour.  Dip fish in egg white on both sides, then place in breadcrumbs.  Make sure to press firmly on both sides, so the breadcrumbs will stick.  Heat a large, non-stick, pan.  Add 1 tablespoon oil.  Add both fillets and cook until golden, about 5 minutes.  Flip over and add remaning oil.  Swirl pan so fish moves and is coated with the oil.  Continue browning until fish is cooked, about another 5 minutes.  Serve hot.
