This Parmesan Crusted Tilapia is a simple fish recipe that is done in 20 minutes and will even impress non-fish lovers!
I always feel a little fancy when we eat fish at home, so serve this with some Vanilla Bean Rice Pudding with Raspberries and Salted Caramel, and your date night in is planned!!
Before I started blogging, I don’t think I ever made fish. Thinking that it was hard. Not knowing what to do.
I was so wrong.
Once I actually tried it, I realized that it is actually really easy. And really fast.
I am now a huge fan. Especially when it comes to a recipe as easy as this Parmesan Crusted Tilapia!
What You’ll Need:
- Parmesan Cheese – freshly grated definitely works the best for this recipe, in my opinion. But others have made this with the canned Parmesan and have liked it!
- Paprika – this adds flavor and color. I will sometimes use smoked paprika for a smoky twist.
- Parsley – for color and freshness.
- Salt – I like things salty, so I like to add a little salt. Feel free to leave this out if the Parmesan is salty enough for you.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil – you’ll need this so that the cheese mixture will stick to the fish.
- Tilapia – I used tilapia because it is easy for me to get, but any firm, white fish will work.
- Lemon – in my opinion, you can never go wrong with a squeeze of fresh lemon on fish. It holds true on this recipe, as well.
How to Make It
MIX: Combine the parmesan, paprika, parsley, and salt. I like to do this in a shallow bowl or on a plate.
DRIZZLE: Cover both sides of the fish with the olive oil.
COAT: Dredge each piece of fish in the parmesan mixture, coating both sides. Use your hands to pat the cheese and seasonings into the fish, if needed.
BAKE: Bake the filets until the fish is opaque in the thickest part of the fish. For a normal sized tilapia filet, this should take about 10 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions:
This is a super simple dish, so I think a couple super simple side dishes are all you need. I love this Lemon Broccoli or these Sauteed Green Beans with Cherry Tomatoes. I would just keep it simple!
I think one common misconception with this recipe is that it should be crispy. “Crusted” in this instance just means that it is covered in Parmesan. I have had people say that they pan fry it first before baking, which will make it a little more crispy. You could also add some bread crumbs, if you want more of a crispy crust.
Yes! If you are using frozen fish, just make sure to fully thaw it before cooking. I like to thaw frozen fish in the refrigerator overnight.
I have made this with other firm, white fish (like halibut) but my guess is that as long as it is a firm fish, this would be delicious!
One thing that I love about this recipe is that it is easy to change it up. I mentioned that I like to use smoked paprika, but lemon pepper, old bay seasoning, a bit of cajun seasoning, or garlic powder would be delicious. Feel free to play around with the recipe and make it your own!

I wanted a delicious talipa recipe that was similar to chicken parm – and this is it. We also made the Chipotle pepper sauce and baked sweet potato. We could not have asked for a better low carb, high protein meal. Thank you so much for this masterpiece!

Deborah says
That sounds delicious! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Casey says
Can we dredge with egg instead of oil?
I also did 1/2 cup of bread crumbs and only 1/4 parm and it was so good omg.
Deborah says
I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure it would work! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Melynda says
If I knew how to post a pic here I would. We made the recipe as is. When I make this again which I will so do, I’d sprinkle the paprika directly on the fish after brushing w olive oil as mixing the parmesan w it as a dredge of sorts was rather lost. Timing was perfect. Easy, inexpensive meal. We turned it in to a sheet pan meal by tossing asparagus in olive oil, w s and pepper. Thank you for sharing

This is the sixth time I have made this recipe. It is definitely our “go-to” Tilapia recipe. So easy to prep earlier in the day and just pop into the oven whenever you are ready. This can also be done in the air fryer for a crispier result. But either way is excellent.

I did not like this at all and neither did my husband. I made it because of all of the rave reviews. I found it soggy and very parm= cheese strong. I will stick to seasoned panko/parm air fried with cooking spray.

Jean McGuire says
This fish was amazing!!!!!!! All 8 of us in my family loved it! It’s usually hard to get half of us to eat fish but not with this recipe. I ended up making a whole package of Tilapia steaks (10) and adding 5 additional minutes because it was a lot. Then I broiled them for 3 minutes. (Total coming time 15 minutes plus 3 broiler minutes) They were absolutely amazing! So smoky and meaty. Mmmmmmm!!! I took a picture but don’t know how to add it to the post. Definitely will be making this again. Thank you so much!!

Something’s Cheesy says
This much cheese doesn’t belong on fish. Only ate one of the 4 fillets and my stomach is mad at me. With the 5 star ratings and the picture it sounded good! But I will stick with Gordon Ramsey on the “cheese doesn’t belong on fish”
Sorry to the Chef who created this recipe. Just not for me.

★★★★★
Diane says
We love tilapia but weren’t so happy with this recipe. It gets an A for ease. I grated the parmesan and it was just too overpowering. We couldn’t taste the fish. Maybe this would be better with the grated stuff you get in the spaghetti sauce aisle or using a lot less freshly grated cheese. I’m not apt to try this again to find out though since I have a different parmesan tilapia recipe.
★★★
Catherine says
I made this tonight and it was super good! I grated fresh Parmesan and used smoked paprika. I didn’t have fresh parsley So I used dried. Everyone loved it! This is a go to for a quick and delicious meal.
Michelle says
I just made this tonight for dinner, and I am amazed that all 3 of my kids like it, they ate all of it. Thanks for the easy and delish recipe.

Made this tonight with some hesitation! Exceeded all my expectations and for the whole family!!!! With the exception of my daughter who doesn’t like any kind of crust or breading on her meat…. I did cook it for about 16 minutes and it was perfect! Fillets were around 1” thick

This turned out really good. They didn’t have cod or tilapia so I had to use halibut. The timing and ingredients were perfect! Thanks!

Sabrina Harvey says
This is a delicious recipe. To be honest, I don’t like tilapia. I thought about throwing my package of frozen tilapia away. But, I saw this recipe and decided to give it a try. It is delicious, even with tilapia. I will use this recipe in this future, maybe with tilapia, but for sure with other better tasting fish.
★★★★★
Adele says
All of my family liked this tonight. I repeat, ALL OF THEM. My husband and my five sons (including my 8-month old who scarfed it down with his little pudgy fingers). My 2 year old kept asking for more— I was surprised he even tried it in the first place! My kids are incredibly picky eaters and complainers and my husband is always polite but went out of his way to tell me he enjoyed this. I used butter instead of oil, used a little less paprika, and added garlic powder. It was a hit! Thank you! I’m sure I will be making it again.
★★★★★
Julie says
Made this tonight and we will definitely be having it again! We all really loved it. (The 5 yr old tolerated it which is a complete win in my book!) I used shredded parmesan and will probably do it separate from the seasonings next time since it’s chunkier, but it still turned out perfect.

SzEB says
Saw a comment about fish and cheese not working together, which I would have agreed with about ten years ago until, while living in Europe, I tried a Tonno pizza. It’s just a basic marinara, tuna, onion, black olives, roasted red pepper (though fresh red bell pepper works just as well) and mozzarella with some basil and oregano if desired. So good! Made me more open to try recipes such as this. Give this one a chance! So truly worth it.
SzEB says
I was looking for a new way to make fish, since most of my family doesn’t really like it while I love it. I found your recipe and thought why not? It’s not like it would be the first time they haven’t eaten something new I tried…and seriously, they loved it! My picky picky 8 year old kept telling me he hadn’t made up his mind if he liked or not…and was still trying to decide after eating two servings (turns out it’s a yes). My picky picky husband tasted it like a wine taster…and told me it’s absolutely delicious. My Dad, who hates, really hates, fish (will only eat it if it’s super spicy so he doesn’t have to taste it, which this was not in the least) ate two servings, one bite at a time saying (with every bite), “Wow, this is really good. Excellent! Really good!” So, thank you, I got my boys to eat fish! 🙂 The only changes I made were to salt the filets before, as well as a little in the coating (these guys are salt fiends, though it was still much less salt than any ready made dish) and I mixed Romano and Parmesan because I din’t have enough Parmesan. And my parsley was freeze dried (which I reconstituted with a little water, then squeezed out, because I didn’t have fresh at the moment). I also made a lemony butter sauce to go with it (since I thought if they don’t like fish, let’s mask the flavor), which everybody liked, but felt was not needed. So, they would alternate with the sauce and without, and told me that, while the sauce was great, the fish didn’t need it (which is a huge compliment!). I tried pan frying a few pieces before hand (like someone recommended) for a short while to get some color, but the coating came off and the filets started to break apart. So I took the leap of faith and just put them in the oven (though at 375 F for 15 minutes since I use a silicone liner which doesn’t do well above that temp) and gave a little spray of 100% olive oil on top (Organic spray from BJs) and the fish came out golden brown and crispy, no need to previously pan fry. Sorry that this is so long, but I just want anyone who might be reading this to know that this recipe really works! I usually never comment, but this was so successful (my dad ate two potions!!!!) that I just truly had to thank you. If there is only one thing I might try next time is to put the fish on a rack in the sheet pan, so the bottom stays crispy, too…though with the unexpected success I had with this, I likely won’t change anything at all. This is definitely going on my regular rotation! And if anyone is reading this, don’t skip the paprika or parsley, unless you hate it or are allergic, because they really do add to the whole flavor profile. Just thank you for a successful recipe which didn’t take me hours to make (rather much less than an hour), and one that was super delicious!

Can you use something else other then olive oil not a fan to that tastes…..
Angel says
It is a little too much paprika for my family. Not enough flavor. It looked pretty. I think you really have to like paprika for this to be successful for your family – thank you for the idea! Maybe I did something wrong bc all the other reviews are good. Hmmm

KyLee says
I don’t usually eat fish unless it’s fish sticks, haha but because of my New Years resolution I picked up a bag of Tilapia from ALDI yesterday. They’re frozen. Do I thaw them before battering them with the parmasean? Or keep them frozen?
Deborah says
Yep – thaw it first. I just thaw according to the package directions and then follow the recipe. Hope you love it!
Alana says
Made this single-serve style for myself this evening. The fillets I bought from Walmart are individually wrapped in the bag, so I just pulled one out, ran it under warm water for 5 minutes and cooked up a bag of frozen veggies while I waited. Then put a little bit of paprika, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, and parmesan in a bowl to mix up. I cooked one side of the fillet for a few minutes in a frying pan, then flipped it over, put the burner on medium low, added the spice mixture on top, and cooked until it was done. Not as crispy as baking in the oven, but great flavor, healthy, and very few dishes. Win all around 🙂 Thanks for the idea!

Kelly says
I pinned this since it looks and sounds so good, I’m trying to cook more fish at home. I followed this recipe and my fish came out so mushy and water, I used fresh tilapia too, any suggestions
Deborah says
I’m guessing it was the fish. Unless you are buying your fish straight off of the boat, most fish is previously frozen. If you buy it from the fresh case at the grocery store, it was most likely frozen and then has sat in the case, which can result in mushy fish sometimes. I almost always buy it frozen so that I can thaw it right before cooking it. That is the only thing I can think of!
Jessalyn says
Currently making this! Excited to see how it turns out. So far it’s been the quickest prep of the week 🙂 Soon it will be added to my “I did this one” board on Pinterest. Can’t wait to taste it. Thank’s for the recipe
Kathlyn says
I buy Monterrey Talapi ands never buy any other and I crush onion and sour cream potato chips and coat fish and drizzle some olive oil on top and bake until a golden brown and it is just as good. Kathlyn
Natalie Benkovic says
Made this tonight! I bought everything at Whole Foods and I added some crushed Parmesan crisps to the mixture before rolling the Tilapia in it (to make it extra crispy!) Thank you for this simple and delicious recipe!!
Alisa says
Saw on FB – looks good for the little ones. Thanks for sharing it.
Nancy Piccioni-Hann says
Had it tonight and it was delicious! However, I would think twice about buying my talapia frozen from Cosco or anywhere. Almost all of the frozen bulk bags of fish come from China. It is not substantianably caught and you don’t want to know what their fed if raised in tanks. Sometimes it is not even talapia.

I can’t find Parmesan cheese around here. Can i use the other cheese top?
Deborah says
Any hard cheese should work, I would guess. I would just look for something that is similar to a Parmesan or a Pecorino.

Can I use any type of fish?
Deborah says
I would guess that any firm white fish would work.

Mara says
Can I bake it in it’s own individual foil pack? If so for how long?
Deborah says
I have not tried, so I’m not sure. Sorry!
Eileen says
Foil packs are more for steaming.
If you want it crispy, ditch the foil.

I made this! I love it!! The only thing I did different was exchanged salt with garlic salt:) the man loved the recipe as well!

I was wondering if I could use frozen fish or if it had to be fresh? I don’t normally cook fish, but I was scrolling through recipes and my boyfriend stopped me and was practically drooling! If I can use frozen, what should I do to it to prepare for the recipe (thaw, etc).
Thanks!
Deborah says
You can definitely use frozen – that’s what I used. Just make sure it is completely thawed and you will be good to go!

It sounds delicious Deborah. I’ve already pinned the recipe and I’m going to try it tonight.
Thank you.

made this for my husband tonight! we loved it! although my tilapia was pretty watery… i’m thinking next time i will pan sear it and then throw it in the oven to finish and get a little crispy. this definitely goes into my dinner rotation. if anyone wants the nutrition breakdown, i calculated it per 4oz serving:
226 calories
11.3g fat
3.8g saturated fat
69mg cholesterol
30g protein

I made this last night when I saw tilapia at the store and remembered thinking this looked good (I shuffled around some menu planning to switch it to last night’s dinner haha) – now I had to come comment that it was so delicious!! Definitely will be rotated into my future menus. Love fast, easy and delicious recipes! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Deborah says
Yay! Glad you loved it!
