Parmesan Pesto Tilapia Recipe 425

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Line an 11-17-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
• Mix milk and ranch dressing in a shallow bowl. Place flour in a separate shallow bowl; set aside.
• Whisk together bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, seasoned salt, black pepper, celery salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, parsley, and basil in a bowl.
• Spray bread crumb mixture with cooking spray until damp, then whisk bread crumbs. Repeat spraying and whisking 3 more times to lightly moisten crumb mixture with cooking spray.
• Transfer crumb mixture to a large resealable plastic bag.
• Gently press tilapia fillets into the flour to coat, and shake off the excess flour.
• Dip the fillets into the ranch dressing mixture.
• Place all the fillets into the resealable plastic bag; seal bag and shake to coat fish with bread crumb mixture.
• Arrange tilapia on prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the breaded fish with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is easily flaked with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Whisk Parmesan cheese, paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper together in a shallow dish.
• Coat tilapia fillets with olive oil and press into the Parmesan cheese mixture. Arrange coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Lightly spray a glass or enamel baking dish to assist in cleanup.
• Wash and pat dry 1-2 pounds of Tilapia filets, and place in the dish side by side.
• Season fish with any desired seasonings (salt, pepper, other spice blends). In a separate bowl, measure grated parmesan, breadcrumbs, and enough olive oil to make a moist crumble.
• Spoon over the top of the fish to cover the filets.
• Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Cover a baking sheet with foil and coat with non-stick cooking spray.
• Place fish fillets on baking sheet and sprinkle with black pepper. No salt is needed as pesto and parmesan cheese are both pretty salty.
• In a small bowl, combine pesto, breadcrumbs, and parmesan cheese (hands or a fork will do).
• Divide the topping evenly over the fish fillets, spreading with your fingers and pressing into the fish.
• Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees, then switch to broil to crisp up the crust for the last 2-5 minutes.
• If the middle of the fillet flakes with a fork and is completely opaque, it's time to dig in!
• Serve with steamed broccoli and brown rice pilaf for a healthy dinner.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Pat the tilapia dry with a paper towel. Place on a baking sheet lined with foil. Coat the foil with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking. Sprinkle each fillet with 2 Tbsp. of Parmesan cheese. Broil for 10-11 min. or till the fish is no longer translucent & the cheese is browned on top. Top each fillet with fresh tomatoes & a Tbsp. of pesto. If you have any remaining cheese, add just a tiny bit over the top of the fish, tomatoes & pesto; serve immediately.
