Quick, Easy, Delicious Baked Parm Fish

There are so many healthy meals out there that can be made in under 30 minutes, I mean Rachael Ray basically has an entire career based on it! That is one of the main reasons I love this recipe. Feeding the family a quick homemade meal that is hot and covered in parmesan cheese in under 30 minutes seem like a superhero mom move to me. So put on your cape and try this one out.

Original Recipe: Taste of Home

Baked Parm Tilapia

Prep: 10 mins   |   Cook: 10 mins   |   Total: 20 mins   |   4 servings

(print recipe here)

INGREDIENTS

3-4 Tilapia Fillets, about 1 lb
1 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 Tbsp Paprika
1 Tsp Dried Basil
2 Tbsp Bread Crumbs, seasoned or unseasoned
1 Tbsp Butter, melted
1/4 Tsp Garlic Powder, optional

DIRECTIONS

1. In a shallow dish mix breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, & spices.
2. Brush one fillet with melted butter. Lay fillet butter side down in the dry mix, pat down.
3. Brush side of fillet showing with butter again, flip into dry mix and pat again. I tend to flip, pat and shake the dish to make sure fillets are entirely covered.
4. Removed from dry mix dish and lay on rack. I use a cooling rack over a cookie sheet. This ensures the fish cooks and crisps from all sides. Laying it directly on a cookie sheet can result in a soggy sided fish.
5. Bake for about 10 minutes at 400 degrees until fish flakes easy with a fork.

TIPS

• Great with flavored rice as a side. I cook instant plain rice & add in about a Tsp or so of each of the spices on the fish (everything minus the breadcrumbs).
• I buy the frozen tilapia fillets at Wegmans. They are individually wrapped and thaw nicely.
• Served with flavored rice and steamed veggies.
