This easy bruschetta tilapia has all the traditional bruschetta flavors plus extra substance from tilapia fillets. The bruschetta topping is a mix of crispy panko bread crumbs, olive oil, tomato and basil. It's spooned on top of tilapia fillets and baked until the fish is cooked and the bread crumbs browned.
Ingredients and notes:
- Be sure to use panko and not regular bread crumbs for this dish. Panko bread crumbs are crispier and will create a great, crispy topping.
How to make it:
See full ingredient amounts and instructions in the recipe card below!
- Quarter, core and dice a tomato.
- Mix panko with olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Stir in tomato and basil.
- Set tilapia onto an oiled baking sheet. Top with the bread crumb mix and bake.
How to serve it:
I recommend serving this dish with rice or a salad. It also goes great with these crispy lemon roasted potatoes!
How to store it:
Transfer baked bruschetta tilapia into an airtight container or wrap in aluminum foil. Store in the fridge for up to 1 day. Reheat in the oven until warmed through.
