Garlic Parmesan Encrusted Tilapia image

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!

Provided by Chef Acosta

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 30m

Yield 8 half filets, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tilapia fillets, whole
1 cup fresh parmesan cheese, fresh and grated (sometimes I used an Italian 5-cheese blend instead, which includes parmesan)
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons fresh parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

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!

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest tilapia fillets you can find. Fresh tilapia will have a mild, sweet flavor and a firm texture. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Make sure the fillets are completely dry before breading them. This will help the breading adhere to the fish and prevent it from falling off during cooking.
  • Use a light hand when breading the fillets. You don't want the breading to be too thick, or it will overpower the delicate flavor of the fish.
  • Cook the fillets in a hot skillet until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. This will ensure that the fish is cooked through and that the breading is cooked to perfection.
  • Serve the fillets immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, tartar sauce, or lemon wedges are all great options.

Conclusion:

Parmesan n' Ranch Crusted Tilapia Fillets are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The fillets are coated in a flavorful breading made with Parmesan cheese, ranch dressing mix, and bread crumbs, then pan-fried until golden brown and crispy. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal that everyone will love.
