Red Pepper & Parmesan Tilapia

source

Okay, I know - another Tilapia recipe.  What can I say?  I like Tilapia.  Plus I have a big bag of it in my freezer.

I think I liked this recipe better than the Crispy Baked Tilapia I posted in February.  It's very spicy and flavorful.  I also love the parmesan in it!!

Ingredients:
1/4 cup egg substitute
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 - 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp pepper
4 tilapia fillets

Directions:
Cover a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.

Place egg substitute in shallow bowl.  In another shallow bowl, combine cheese, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and pepper.  Dip fillets in egg substitute, then cheese mixture.

Place fillets on baking sheet and bake at 425 F for 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Enjoy!

Crispy Baked Tilapia

I love tilapia.  I could eat it plain.  My family however, is another story.  So when we made tilapia tonight, we had to put something on it to make it 'taste better'.  It was a hit!  My husband especially liked it, so I guess we'll be doing it this way a lot more often. :)  haha

Ingredients:

tilapia (we made 6 fillets)

salt and pepper
1 cup Panko crumbs
1/2 cup crushed potato chips
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 TBS melted butter
crushed red pepper flakes, optional

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 F.  Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.  Place tilapia on foil and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Toss together bread crumbs, crushed potato chips, cheese and melted butter.  Sprinkle over tilapia, pressing lightly to coat.  Sprinkle with red pepper flakes. (note:  we made half with the red pepper flakes and half without.  It's up to you.  I loved it with that little extra spice.) 

Bake for about 20 minutes until tilapia is done and flakes are golden.

Enjoy!
