GARLIC PARMESAN ENCRUSTED TILAPIA



Garlic Parmesan Encrusted Tilapia image

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!

Provided by Chef Acosta

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 30m

Yield 8 half filets, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tilapia fillets, whole
1 cup fresh parmesan cheese, fresh and grated (sometimes I used an Italian 5-cheese blend instead, which includes parmesan)
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons fresh parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

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!

PARMESAN CRUSTED RANCH TILAPIA



Parmesan Crusted Ranch Tilapia image

It never ceases to amaze me how fast my kids gobble up this yummy, healthy, baked-not-fried dish. Tilapia is a very light tasting fish that has a nice texture and with the right preparation, will satisfy even the pickiest little palate.

Provided by Niki Stutts

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

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.
