Steps:

• Thaw and wash tilapia fillets if frozen. Pat dry on paper towels.
• Combine crumbs, parmesan, italian seasoning and garlic powder on a plate, mixing well.
• On a different plate, pour 1 tbsp lemon juice.
• Working 1 at a time, place a fillet on the plate in the lemon juice, sprinkle with desired amount of kosher salt (be careful about how much salt is in your parmesan, crumbs, and other seasonings), black pepper, and garlic powder. Turn the fillet over in the lemon juice and sprinkle seasoning on the other side.
• Dredge fillet in the parmesan mixture patting it all over to coat.

• Dip the filets in the olive oil, then in the parmesan mixture.
• Optional: let the flavors combine for about 4 hours. If you're taking it to a picnic, just put inside a ziplock bag.
• Place on a baking sheet. For the barbecue, I use non-stick aluminum foil (Reynolds brand works great).
• Bake/grill for about 20 minutes or until opaque in the middle and crispy on the edges. Do not overcook. The fish should be very moist with a crisp bottom and edges. Enjoy!
