A quick and yummy way to prepare crispy tilapia the whole family will love, without frying. I get asked to make this several times a week by everyone in my family, especially the kids!
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup prepared ranch dressing
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ground paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- cooking spray
- 8 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets
Directions
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Line an 11-17-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Mix milk and ranch dressing in a shallow bowl. Place flour in a separate shallow bowl; set aside.
- Whisk together bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, seasoned salt, black pepper, celery salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, parsley, and basil in a bowl.
- Spray bread crumb mixture with cooking spray until damp, then whisk bread crumbs. Repeat spraying and whisking 3 more times to lightly moisten crumb mixture with cooking spray.
- Transfer crumb mixture to a large resealable plastic bag.
- Gently press tilapia fillets into the flour to coat, and shake off the excess flour.
- Dip the fillets into the ranch dressing mixture.
- Place all the fillets into the resealable plastic bag; seal bag and shake to coat fish with bread crumb mixture.
- Arrange tilapia on prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the breaded fish with cooking spray.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is easily flaked with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes.
