My last two Tilapia recipes have been a hit. From grilled Lemon Pepper Tilapia to our easy baked Tilapia recipe, our family loves Tilapia. It is one of the easiest fish to cook with and it doesn’t come with that “fishy” taste that so many people are afraid of when they try fish.
This Parmesan Crusted Tilapia is just as easy as the rest but we are putting a different spin on it. Now many people have done parmesan crusted chicken or even fish, but we are doing it even easier. Remember…. I like easy. 🙂 Tilapia falls apart easy so we are not going to dredge it in butter and then cheese and bread crumbs. Besides, that is much to heavy for a fish. Instead, we are going to brush it with butter.
You will just melt a few tablespoons of butter and then brush the butter on top of the thawed Tilapia. I like to use my pastry brush for this. If you don’t have a pastry brush, I highly recommend you get one. I just bought a silicone one and I love it.
Then you top your delicious fish with the Kraft Parmesan cheese. Now you can get super fancy and use fresh shredded cheese, but I was using what I had on hand. I have to say…. we loved it!
Then you bake it. I like to turn the broiler on the last minute to get that nice golden brown color on top.
It is really that easy.
Money Saving Tip:
Now I normally buy my Tilapia at Sam’s because it I love how they are individually frozen. I can thaw them in water in about 5 minutes. So from freezer to plate is about 25 minutes. You really don’t have excuses not to eat healthy now. Plus I find it more reasonably priced at Sam’s. If you have any extra tips to help me save on Tilapia, I would love to know. Make sure you leave a comment and let us know.
