Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

36 ounces tilapia fillets
1 1/4 cups alfredo sauce (home made or store bought. Extra can be used to mix with pasta if desired)
8 ounces angel hair pasta, cooked
1 lemon, sliced into 6 wedges
3/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, for tilapia crusting mixture
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, for tilapia crusting mixture
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, for tilapia crusting mixture
4 cups zucchini, cut into 1/4 inch slices and halved

2 cups red bell peppers, cut into strips
2 cups red onions, cut into strips
1 tablespoon italian seasoning, for vege mixture
1 tablespoon kosher salt, for vege mixture
1 tablespoon chopped garlic, for vege mixture
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, for vege mixture

  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Italian Vegetables:

  • Assembling Parmesan Crusted Tilapia:
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

The leftovers from this Parmesan Crusted Tilapia are just as good as the first time you make it. I usually make a double batch so that I have leftovers for lunch the next day.

I made a few substitutions to make this recipe healthier. I used whole wheat bread crumbs instead of white bread crumbs, and I used low-fat cheese instead of regular cheese. The tilapia was still delicious and the Parmesan crust was just as crispy. I
