Ingredients
4 tilapia fillets, whole
1 cup fresh parmesan cheese, fresh and grated
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons fresh parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
1.) Preheat the grill or oven to 350°F and spray the baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. 2.) Divide the filets into two parts, then rinse with water and pat dry. 3.) Combine the parmesan cheese, garlic, paprika, parsley, salt, pepper on a large plate. 4.) On another plate, pour the olive oil. 5.) Dip the filets in the olive oil, then in the parmesan mixture. 6.) Optional: let the flavors combine for about 4 hours. If you’re taking it to a picnic, just put inside a ziplock bag. 7.) Place on a baking sheet. For the barbecue, I use non-stick aluminum foil (Reynolds brand works great). Grilling planks also work very well! 8.) Bake/grill for about 20 minutes or until opaque in the middle and crispy on the edges. Do not overcook. The fish should be very moist with a crisp bottom and edges. Enjoy!
