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 fresh tilapia fillets. Fresh tilapia has a mild, delicate flavor that pairs well with the Parmesan crust.
- Season the tilapia fillets generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Use a light hand when breading the tilapia fillets. You don't want the breading to be too thick, or it will overpower the delicate flavor of the fish.
- Pan-fry the tilapia fillets in a little bit of olive oil over medium heat. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
- Serve the Parmesan tilapia fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Parmesan tilapia is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The Parmesan crust adds a delicious flavor and texture to the fish, while the pan-frying method helps to keep the fish moist and flaky. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
