Recipe: Parmesan-Crusted Tilapia

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

  1. Pre­heat the oven to 400º.
  2. In a shal­low dish, com­bine the cheese with the paprika and pars­ley and sea­son with salt and pepper.
  3. Driz­zle the fish with olive oil and dredge in the cheese mixture.
  4. Place on a foil-lined bak­ing sheet and bake until the fish is opaque in the thick­est part, 10 to 12 minutes.
  5. Serve the fish with the lemon wedges.
