Ingredients

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1⁄4 cup gluten-free panko crumbs
1⁄4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. dried basil
1⁄2 tsp. dried oregano
1⁄2 tsp. onion powder
1⁄2 tsp. crushed red pepper
1⁄2 tsp. dried rosemary
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1⁄2 tsp. salt
1⁄4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
4 tilapia fillets (4 oz. each), depending on their size, washed and dried

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, onion powder, crushed red pepper, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Step 3
On a medium-size plated, pour lemon juice.
Step 4
Dip each fillet in lemon juice and then in the bread crumb mixture to coat evenly on both sides. Place in baking dish that is well oiled. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cover with aluminum foil so fish remains moist.
Step 5
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are browning. Take baking dish out of the oven and put the broiler on. Broil on medium for about 2 minutes so fillets get crispy.
