  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs*, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper. When mixed, drizzle in the melted 3 tablespoons butter. It will resemble wet sand.
  3. Place the 4 large tilapia filets onto the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the breadcrumb mixture over the top of each evenly.

Notes

  • **You can use plain breadcrumbs or combine 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning with plain breadcrumbs to season them. You can also panko or even cracker crumbs like Ritz or saltine. If you do use a salted cracker, omit additional Kosher salt.
