Lemon Zest Italian Tilapia
Ellbee’s Garlic Kitchen Box

Lemon Zest Italian Tilapia

Light, crisp and exactly the kind of dinner that makes a regular Tuesday feel polished. Lemon-zest garlic seasons a Parmesan breadcrumb crust, while basil oil and champagne balsamic turn the little tomato-arugula side salad into more than an afterthought.

Ingredients
  

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment. Mix panko, Parmesan and Ellbee's Lemon Zest Gourmet Garlic in a shallow bowl. Season fish with salt and pepper, dip in egg, then press into the breadcrumb mixture.
  2. Set breaded fillets on the pan and drizzle with 2 tablespoons Ellbee's Basil Olive Oil. Bake until golden, crisp and opaque at the center, 12 to 15 minutes.
  3. Toss arugula and tomatoes with remaining Basil Olive Oil, Ellbee's Champagne Balsamic Vinegar, salt and pepper.
  4. Serve hot tilapia with the salad, basil leaves and lemon wedges for squeezing.

Notes

Time: 30 min
Kitchen tip: Keep the fish in one layer with a little breathing room. Crowding the pan traps steam and softens the crust.
