My daughter and I loved it. She is 10 so I recommend to people with kids. Very inexpensive, specially if it's on sale! I will put a little mustard next time to try.

Fish is not too popular at my house but My Family loved this!

I've made this recipe several times and it is one of my all-time favorites. I don't think I'll ever cook tilapia any other way! The recipe is very well written, easy to follow and simple. Great job!

I used Panko Japanese-style bread crumbs and a FULL CUP of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. 4 large fillets fit perfectly in a 13 x 9 1/2 baking dish. 22 minutes max. 30 minutes would have dried them out. Grated a little extra parm on top before serving. Really good recipe and my husband loved it, too!

DELICIOUS! I first marinated the filets in a little lemon, garlic, salt & pepper for a few hours. I used Parmesan panko bread crumbs, and basil instead of oregano. Baked at 22 minutes and it was perfect.

I used 1/2 c buttermilk with 2 TBSP Dijon and a few dashes of hot sauce in place of the wet mixture. Delicious.

We added some fresh chopped basil. It was a hit.
