A lot of garlic will go a long way. It’s great to hear positive immediate feedback on your cooking. And not just from your family, but from random people. While I was making this garlic parmesan baked tilapia dish for dinner the other night, I heard many of our neighbors walking by our door saying, “That smells delicious!” One of our neighbors shouted a few floors down, “Hello, that smells delicious!”

Tilapia is a very easy fish to cook; it’s easy to prep, cooks fast, and can be very tasty. When thinking about how we wanted to make this, we thought about what we liked about our other chicken, seafood, and pizza dinners and we found a few things in common: garlic and parmesan. Warning, making this dish will make your neighbors to be extra nosey about your dinner plans.

We made this dish with homemade breadcrumbs. Have you ever made them? All you need is about 2 slices bread for this recipe, left out overnight. Once you’re ready to make this, thrown the dried slices into a blender and chop for a few cycles. It’s that easy!
