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!"

directions

  • 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!

  2. This was really easy to prepare and delicious- I made this along with the Garlic Roasted Potatoes recipe and it was a huge hit. I will definitely be making this again!
     
  3. This was really good. Thanks for sharing. I actually left the filets whole and baked them following your instructions. They were easy and delicious. Thanks again for sharing!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love to bake. I have a pretty good collection of classic family recipes, but am always trying something new. During the day, I'm a graphic designer / photographer and part-time photography professor. I'm married to a guy that loves to cook too. We have three awesome kids, one with serious food allergies, so I've adapted many recipes to be gluten and nut free with great success.
