Parmesan Crusted Tilapia Fillets

Parmesan Crusted Tilapia Fillets bake up with a golden, cheesy crust kissed with paprika and bright parsley, while the fish stays moist and flaky inside. It’s a quick weeknight option with bold savoriness and a delicate crunch that pairs well with simple sides like greens or roasted vegetables. Serve hot from the oven when you want something light, high-protein, and satisfying.
