GARLIC PARMESAN ENCRUSTED TILAPIA
I recently came up with this recipe for our Memorial Day weekend barbecue since we were sick of the same old stuff. It went over extremely well and everyone that was there has demanded the recipe. It's good cooked in the oven, but much better grilled!

Steps:
- Preheat the grill or oven to 350°F and spray the baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Divide the filets into two parts, then rinse with water and pat dry.
- Combine the parmesan cheese, garlic, paprika, parsley, salt, pepper on a large plate.
- On another plate, pour the olive oil.
- Dip the filets in the olive oil, then in the parmesan mixture.
- Optional: let the flavors combine for about 4 hours. If you're taking it to a picnic, just put inside a ziplock bag.
- Place on a baking sheet. For the barbecue, I use non-stick aluminum foil (Reynolds brand works great).
- Bake/grill for about 20 minutes or until opaque in the middle and crispy on the edges. Do not overcook. The fish should be very moist with a crisp bottom and edges. Enjoy!

Fast, Easy and Healthy! This recipe is for 2, but I have easily doubled it for more. This bakes so quickly that I often make a bunch of these fillets and eat them leftover for lunches.

Steps:
- Thaw and wash tilapia fillets if frozen. Pat dry on paper towels.
- Combine crumbs, parmesan, italian seasoning and garlic powder on a plate, mixing well.
- On a different plate, pour 1 tbsp lemon juice.
- Working 1 at a time, place a fillet on the plate in the lemon juice, sprinkle with desired amount of kosher salt (be careful about how much salt is in your parmesan, crumbs, and other seasonings), black pepper, and garlic powder. Turn the fillet over in the lemon juice and sprinkle seasoning on the other side.
- Dredge fillet in the parmesan mixture patting it all over to coat.
- Place in an oiled baking dish, repeat with remaining fillets.
- Sprinkle a little lemon juice over fillets and drizzle or spray them lightly with olive oil.
- Bake at 425ºF for about 20 minutes or until they easily flake with a fork and edges are browning (you can sprinkle some more parmesan on top if desired). You can also bake these faster at 450ºF.
Tips:
- Select the Right Tilapia: Choose fresh or frozen tilapia fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid fillets that are discolored or have an off odor.
- Thaw Frozen Tilapia Properly: If using frozen tilapia, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for about 30 minutes. Never thaw tilapia at room temperature, as this can promote bacterial growth.
- Pat Tilapia Dry: Before cooking, pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the breading adhere better and prevent the fish from steaming instead of frying.
- Season the Tilapia: Before coating the tilapia in the breading mixture, season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs. This will enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Use a Light Hand When Coating the Tilapia: When coating the tilapia in the breading mixture, use a light hand to prevent the coating from becoming too thick. A thick coating can make the fish greasy and prevent it from cooking evenly.
- Cook the Tilapia at the Right Temperature: Fry the tilapia in hot oil (about 350°F) until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. This will ensure that the fish is cooked through and safe to eat.
- Serve the Tilapia Immediately: Once cooked, serve the tilapia immediately with your favorite sides. Tilapia is best enjoyed when it is hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Garlic Parmesan-Encrusted Tilapia is a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With its crispy breading, tender fish, and cheesy, garlicky flavor, it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and satisfying Garlic Parmesan-Encrusted Tilapia that will impress your taste buds and leave you wanting more.
