Categories     Fish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

6-8 tilapia fillets
1 pkg dry ranch dressing
1/2 c mayo
1 c plain bread crumbs
1/2 c parmesan cheese
cooking spray {butter flavor}

Steps:

  • 1. Mix mayo with dry Ranch dressing pkt.
  • 2. Combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese and pour onto a paper plate, set aside
  • 3. Using a BBQ brush, cover the fish, on both sides, with the herb mayo {I find this easier if the fish is still partially frozen}
  • 4. Dredge each piece of fish in the bread crumbs/cheese mixture & place on a greased cookie sheet {Lightly spray the top of the fish with butter flavored spray, before baking, for extra crispiness}
  • 5. Bake at 375 for 8-12 minutes {thawed} or 20-25 minutes {partially frozen}
  • 6. Note: When fish "flakes with a fork," it is usually a bit overcooked and may be dry. This test is better: Using your finger, press on the cooked flesh gently. When it is done, the fibers will separate in solid flakes. If the fibers fall apart, the fish has been cooked too long

  • Make sure the chipotle and Parmesan crust is evenly distributed on the tilapia fillets. This will help to ensure that the fillets are evenly cooked and that the crust is crispy.
  • Bake the tilapia fillets in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the fillets are cooked evenly.
  • Serve the tilapia fillets immediately. The tilapia fillets are best served immediately after they are cooked, while the crust is still crispy.
