This is a surprisingly fried-looking & crunchy fish. Here's what I did: 1/4t salt, two dashes black pepper, 1/8t cayenne pepper, 1/8t garlic powder, plain (as implied) breadcrumbs. After coating, I used nonstick spray & drizzled a little olive oil on, too. I don't know if it made any difference with baking, but when I coat fish (or anything else), if you refrigerate it 30 minutes or more, the coating will stay on better (when pan-frying). It still lacked "something." Next time, I'll try 1/2t salt, 1/4t red pepper, a couple dashes black & a little horseradish in with the egg whites. I'll let ya know ... :)

I added a ton of extra seasoning but I still thought this was bland - and really dry too. Try the Broiled Tilapia Parmesan from this site instead. It is MUCH better, and much less messy to make. Thanks anyhoo.

It is the closest to eating fried tilapia, but without the greasy feel in your mouth. Good stuff!

Yum! I added a bit more salt, and some tuscan herb spice mix (marjoram, basil, bay leaf, etc) to the crumbs, then drizzeled with a teeny bit og olive oil before baking. Came out crispy and flavorful! Tx!

You have too eat this dish fresh out of the oven. If not the topping gets kinda soft . I added some spices some extra basil.All in All i'd say this was pretty good I'd try it again my family loves fish & there aren't a lot of ways to make fish exciting This is a good recipe to put you own spin on with differernt spices

I followed the recipe but added lots of garlic and extra basil, along with some greek seasoning and still found this to be quite bland. There are much better ways to prepare this fish that are healthy and incredibly tasty. Thanks anyway but I won't be using this again.

Wonderful! Very crunchy and moist, and not greasy like fried fish. I love spicy food so I added some cajun seasoning as well as a few other spices. I'll be making it again this week!

This recipe wasn't too bad, but I don't think the end product is worth the preparation effort. As others have stated, it's bland and you do need to really kick it up a notch as that famouse Portuguese guy likes to say. If you really need to get your fried fiah fix, this is a decent healthy alternative. Otherwise, there are much better recipes for baking fish out there.

This is my favorite recipe for Tilapia. I have made it many times, and each time it turns out perfectly. The Tilapia is great surved over a bed of rice with a veggie side dish.

We LOVE tilapia and we have it frequently. I used a little common sense and added some extra seasoning to this recipe(a little garlic powder and seasoned pepper) to our desire. We really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. YUM!

I liked this dish. I did make a couple of changes. I forgot to buy whole eggs at the store so I used Better than eggs (couldn't beat those to be fluffy like egg whites though), fresh basil and instead of crumbs I used ground oats - someone used them all up and didn't inform me. I do think this needed a little kick so I sprinkled a little spicy seasoning on top afterwards. I can't wait to try this with the correct ingrediants next time.

This is an ok recipe, I've had better baked fish dishes. The bread crumbs and corn meal make a harder crust type shell over the fish, I must say the fish was very moist, but not enough flavor on the fish itself. It is not a keeper.
