Parmesan Crusted Tilapia
This Parmesan Crusted Tilapia is one of my very favorite ways to cook fish. It’s full of flavor and easy to prepare, and doesn’t taste “fishy” at all! Even my husband, who typically hates fish, devours it every time I make it. The cheesy Parmesan crust turns a beautiful golden brown under the broiler, keeping the tilapia tender and flaky inside. And it cooks up fast; from start to finish this dish takes less than 20 minutes! Serve with a side of rice, some veggies or a simple green salad and you’ll have a delicious meal on the table in no time!
Where to Find the Best Tilapia
I love cooking with tilapia because it’s an easy fish to find, it cooks up quickly and tastes delicious. I like to get tilapia fillets from the fresh seafood section in the grocery store. Ask the meat counter to give you fillets that are still frozen. You don’t want to go home with the thawed fish and then freeze it again and then thaw it once more when you are ready to eat. Make sense? Cut out an unnecessary step and ask for it frozen from the back. Trust me, it will have a fresher taste.
What to Serve with Tilapia
You can serve some of our delicious Homemade Tartar Sauce with this fish, but it’s so full of flavor you may not even need it.
