Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging, typically around 400°F (200°C). Arrange the frozen tilapia fillets in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure the fillets are not overlapping to promote even cooking and crisping of the crust. Bake for the recommended time, usually 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the crust is golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcooking to maintain the fish's moisture.
