Tips:

  • To ensure the tilapia fillets cook evenly, try to select pieces that are of relatively uniform thickness.
  • If you don't have any fresh parsley on hand, you can substitute dried parsley flakes instead. Use about 1/2 teaspoon of dried parsley flakes for every tablespoon of fresh parsley called for in the recipe.
  • Make sure the tilapia fillets are patted dry before coating them in the Parmesan cheese mixture. This will help the coating adhere better to the fish.
  • To achieve a golden-brown crust, cook the tilapia fillets over medium-high heat. If you cook them over too low heat, the crust will not develop properly.
  • Serve the tilapia fillets immediately after they are cooked. This will help preserve their crispy crust.

Conclusion:

Parmesan-crusted ranch tilapia is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The Parmesan cheese crust is crispy and flavorful, and the ranch dressing adds a tangy touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
