Ingredients
>
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
>
2 large eggs
>
4 (6 oz) tilapia fillets
>
3 tbsp canola oil
>
2 plum tomatoes
>
1/4 cup fresh basil
>
1/4 small red onion
>
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
>
baguette, for serving
Steps
1
Add the panko to a large shallow dish. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Season the tilapia with salt and pepper. Dip each fillet first in the eggs, then the panko, patting well so that crumbs adhere. Place on a parchment-lined plate.
2
In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the oil on medium-high. In 2 batches, add tilapia and cook until fish is firm and crust is golden brown, about 2–3 min. per side. Transfer to paper towel-lined platter.
3
Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes and the basil. Finely chop the red onion. Add tomatoes and red onion to a small bowl, along with balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Serve fish with tomato mixture and baguette. Top with basil.
