The texture of the fish in this version of Baked Parmesan Garlic Crusted Tilapia is softer compared to other similar dishes because this do not use egg as an ingredient. However, you can still achieve that somewhat crispy and texture by adding a piece of beaten egg. All you need to do to modify step 3 in the recipe below by dipping the tilapia fillets in beaten egg (omit the olive oil) and then dredge it with the crust ingredients. You might also want to increase the baking time by a few minutes.
This recipe also applies to other types of fish. I have done this with Cod and Halibut with awesome results.
