Ready In
- Put bread crumbs into a shallow dish.
- Gently press tilapia fillets into bread crumbs to coat. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded tilapia onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook tilapia in hot oil until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer cooked fillets to a plate.
- Top each fillet with salsa; cook in microwave to get the salsa hot, about 15 seconds.

Easiest fish recipe, great for a quick weeknight dinner. Though I will admit that my "pan fried" version was actually baked... Delicious and healthy result.

I made this tonight with a few modifications... I used coconut oil and granulated garlic. Topped with homemade salsa and paired with a pasta salad. Delish!

This is the best Tilapia recipe I've tried. The only change I made was to dip the fish in egg, & Panko instead of Italian bread crumbs (which I will try next time), only because Panko is a famil...

Fast and east! Hubby enjoyed even thought he's not much of a fish eater. Followed directions except we heated the salsa separately and added it at the table, and hubby added salt. Will be making...

Great idea!! I top fish with all kinds of spices, but never thought to pour warmed salsa over. The small crunch with salsa was delish!! I'll make this for a quick lunch often.

Delicious! I thought 4 minutes each side was a little much. I cooked them only 2 minutes on each side. It turned out perfect! I substituted salsa for a little cheddar cheese. Amazing!!
