- 1 1/2 cups Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
- 5 tilapia fillets
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup hot salsa
- 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.
