  15. - Lemon wedges and chopped parsley for garnish
  16. #### Step-by-Step Instructions
  17. **Preparation Time:** 15 minutes
  18. **Cooking Time:** 20-25 minutes
  19. **Total Time:** 35-40 minutes
  20. 1. **Preheat the Oven**
  21. - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  22. 2. **Season and Marinate Tilapia**
  23. - Season each tilapia fillet generously with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper if using.
  24. - Place the seasoned fillets in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  25. 3. **Prepare the Breading**
  26. - In another shallow bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  27. 4. **Bread the Fillets**
  28. - Dredge each fillet in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
  29. - Shake off excess flour before placing on a wire rack or clean kitchen towel to prevent overcrowding during cooking.
  30. 5. **Cooking Process**
  31. - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, just enough to be hot but not smoking.
  32. - Using tongs or a spatula, carefully place the breaded fillets into the hot skillet and cook each side until golden-brown and crispy (about 1-2 minutes per side).
  33. 6. **Bake the Fish**
  34. - Carefully transfer the cooked fillets to the prepared baking sheet. If you have extra cooking spray or a small brush, lightly coat both sides of the tilapia for added crispiness.
  35. - Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  36. 7. **Serve**
  37. - Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  38. - Garnish with lemon wedges and chopped parsley for added freshness and flavor.
  39. #### Tips
  40. - For an extra crispy texture, you can briefly fry the fillets in hot oil until golden, then finish them off in the oven to achieve a balanced taste and texture.
  41. - Serve this dish alongside your favorite sides like steamed vegetables or a simple salad. Enjoy!
  42. By following these steps, you’ll have perfectly baked, crunchy oven-fried tilapia that’s sure to be a hit at any meal!
