Garlic Parmesan Encrusted Tilapia Recipes

GARLIC PARMESAN ENCRUSTED TILAPIA

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!
