Recipe: Parmesan-Crusted Tilapia
Posted by | Filed under Food, Noteworthy, Recipes
A long time back my wife found a recipe for cooking up tilapia. It was fabulous. We thought the recipe had been added to this site but when we went to find the recipe to make dinner tonight; it was missing. Now I’ll be amoung the first to admit the search on this site doesn’t work as well as it should1. But I work with MySQL databases for a living and I poked around in the database this site runs off of without being able to find any trace of that recipe. So we did some searching and ended up using a different recipe tonight. To make sure we don’t have this problem again, I’m adding the recipe right now.
Parmesan-Crusted Tilapia
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspooons paprika
- 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 4 tilapia fillets (about 1 pound total)
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400º.
- In a shallow dish, combine the cheese with the paprika and parsley and season with salt and pepper.
- Drizzle the fish with olive oil and dredge in the cheese mixture.
- Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake until the fish is opaque in the thickest part, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Serve the fish with the lemon wedges.

I had lost this recipe and was glad to find it here. This is the only way I prepare my tilipia. It is so moist and delicious.

A new recipe was recently recommended to me, Broiled Tilapia Parmesan. I’m linking to it here, so I can find the link the next time we go to make tilapia.
