For an extra crispy coating, consider using panko bread crumbs instead of regular dried bread crumbs. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the cooked tilapia brightens the flavors. To ensure even cooking, use fillets of similar thickness. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices in the bread crumb mixture. Garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika can add interesting flavor dimensions.
