This recipe gets done in just 20 minutes. Yes, it is a very quick and easy fish recipe that way!

Nevertheless, it is very tasteful and has a mind-blowing texture.

Also, I did add Italian herbs to the parmesan mixture so that the coat doesn’t taste all bland.

A glass of Red Wine Sangria will be a perfect match with this. If serving for the main course, you can pair it with Brown Rice, Apple Salad, or quinoa cooked with chicken stock.

Steamed vegetables are also a good option.

Instant Pot Garlic Mashed Potatoes pair great with this dish too.

Does tilapia have to be thawed before cooking?

If you are on a time crunch, you can definitely cook the tilapia frozen.

Wash the pieces under running water to get rid of any frost and dab the pieces with a kitchen towel.

Now coat them with the parmesan mixture and bake.

You can also soak the frozen tilapia fillets in water and keep changing the water every 10 minutes to thaw them quickly.
