PARMESAN PESTO TILAPIA RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Pat the tilapia dry with a paper towel. Place on a baking sheet lined with foil. Coat the foil with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking. Sprinkle each fillet with 2 Tbsp. of Parmesan cheese. Broil for 10-11 min. or till the fish is no longer translucent & the cheese is browned on top. Top each fillet with fresh tomatoes & a Tbsp. of pesto. If you have any remaining cheese, add just a tiny bit over the top of the fish, tomatoes & pesto; serve immediately.

PESTO CRUSTED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Cover a baking sheet with foil and coat with non-stick cooking spray.
• Place fish fillets on baking sheet and sprinkle with black pepper. No salt is needed as pesto and parmesan cheese are both pretty salty.
• In a small bowl, combine pesto, breadcrumbs, and parmesan cheese (hands or a fork will do).
• Divide the topping evenly over the fish fillets, spreading with your fingers and pressing into the fish.
• Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees, then switch to broil to crisp up the crust for the last 2-5 minutes.
• If the middle of the fillet flakes with a fork and is completely opaque, it's time to dig in!
• Serve with steamed broccoli and brown rice pilaf for a healthy dinner.

BAKED PARMESAN CRUSTED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° convection or 425° conventional. Line a baking sheet or baking pan with aluminum foil and brush with olive oil.
• Wash and pat dry tilapia with paper towels.
• Mix Parmesan, paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper in a shallow pan.
• Brush tilapia with oil on both sides and then dredge in the Parmesan mixture and pat on the coating. Place on the baking sheet. Add some of the extra coating on top of the fish.
• Bake for about 10-12 minutes until flaky.

OVEN ROASTED TILAPIA WITH TOMATOES, PESTO AND LEMON

Steps:

• Gently combine the tomatoes, garlic and olive oil with a little salt and pepper if desired and roast in a preheated 425 degree oven for about 10 minutes.
• Juice the lemon and mix SOME of the juice with the pesto, adding more if desired or needed keeping the pesto a nice spreadable consistency and not runny. (Thanks breezer mom!) Spread mixture on top of the fish which has been seasoned with a little more salt and pepper if desired.
• Cut the juiced lemon halves in half again so that you have two pieces of lemon to support each filet. Place a filet on top of two pieces of juiced lemon so that the fish is somewhat out of any liquid that accumulates, allowing it to roast rather than boil.
• Return to oven for about 10 minutes or until the fish is flaky and no longer opaque.
• Plate the fish along with the tomatoes and garlic and serve with more lemon wedges if desired.

RED PEPPER & PARMESAN TILAPIA

Dip fillets in egg and then in cheese mixture., Place fillets in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 10-15 minutes.
