This mix is new to me, and it turned out to be a huge hit!

Parmesan-crusted tilapia is a delightful dish that brings together the simplicity of Midwestern cooking with a touch of elegance. This recipe is reminiscent of the Sunday dinners my grandmother used to prepare, where the whole family gathered around the table to share stories and laughter. The golden crust, made from breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, adds a satisfying crunch to the tender, flaky fish beneath. It’s a dish that not only fills the belly but also warms the heart, making it perfect for both special occasions and everyday meals.

This parmesan-crusted tilapia pairs beautifully with a side of buttery mashed potatoes or a fresh garden salad. For a touch of color and added nutrition, consider serving it alongside steamed green beans or roasted asparagus. A slice of homemade cornbread or a warm dinner roll would also complement the meal, soaking up any delicious juices from the fish.
