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

Tips:
- Use a flavorful fish: Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to use a flavorful breading to make it more interesting. Parmesan cheese, garlic, and herbs are all great options.
- Don't overcook the fish: Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it's cooked through. Overcooking will make the fish dry and tough.
- Serve immediately: Parmesan-crusted tilapia is best served immediately after it's cooked. The breading will start to soften if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Parmesan-crusted tilapia is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The flavorful breading and tender fish make this dish a hit with everyone who tries it. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
