CRISPY RANCH TILAPIA RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking pan (13 X 9 inches or larger) with foil. Place a wire rack over a baking pan, and spray rack with cooking oil spray. Set aside. Place tilapia fillet on a plate* and rub front and back with dressing, covering well. Place crumbs on a second plate* and shake to distribute crumbs evenly on plate. Place fillet on crumbs, pressing so crumbs adhere. Lift filet, shake plate again to redistribute crumbs, and turn to place second side of filet in crumbs, again, pressing so crumbs adhere. Place fillet on baking rack. (*Repeat this process with as many fillets as desired.) Bake, uncovered, until crumbs are just beginning to brown and fish is opaque in the center, about 20 to 25 minutes, depending on size of fillet. Remove from oven, place fillet on a plate with lemon and lime wedges. Serve at once, squirting fish with citrus juices to taste.

CRUNCHY OVEN-BAKED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Place fillets on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lime juice and zest, salt, onion powder and pepper. Spread mayonnaise mixture over fish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs; spritz with cooking spray., Bake until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro.

CRISPY BREADED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Combine panko, parsley, and salt on a dinner plate. Mix egg and milk together in a bowl.
• Dip fillets into the milk mixture and shake off excess. Lightly dredge in panko mixture.
• Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add fillets and cook until golden brown on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook until fillets are no longer translucent in the center and they easily flake with a fork, about 5 minutes more. Serve immediately.

PARMESAN CRUSTED RANCH TILAPIA

Steps:

• 1. Mix mayo with dry Ranch dressing pkt.
• 2. Combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese and pour onto a paper plate, set aside
• 3. Using a BBQ brush, cover the fish, on both sides, with the herb mayo {I find this easier if the fish is still partially frozen}
• 4. Dredge each piece of fish in the bread crumbs/cheese mixture & place on a greased cookie sheet {Lightly spray the top of the fish with butter flavored spray, before baking, for extra crispiness}
• 5. Bake at 375 for 8-12 minutes {thawed} or 20-25 minutes {partially frozen}
• 6. Note: When fish "flakes with a fork," it is usually a bit overcooked and may be dry. This test is better: Using your finger, press on the cooked flesh gently. When it is done, the fibers will separate in solid flakes. If the fibers fall apart, the fish has been cooked too long
