Baked Tilapia

Recipe #102964 | 45 min | 15 min prep | add private note

This my own creation. We love baked fish but don't like the heavy crust type so I came up with this and everyone loves it. The measurements are an estimation because it depends on how many filets you are cooking and how spicy you want your fish.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • tilapia fillets
  • 1/2-3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1-1 1/2 cup dried Italian breadcrumbs
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste
  • tony creole seasoning, to taste
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (not the canned kind)
  • 1 onion, sliced into slices
  • 8 ounces fresh sliced mushrooms
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, sliced (optional)
  • 1-2 lemon, juice of

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix all of the dry ingredients (bread crumbs to cheese) in a plate.
  2. 2
    Dip your filets in the melted butter then dredge in the bread crumb mixture.
  3. 3
    Place in a baking dish that is large enough the filets will not overlap (make sure you spray or grease your dish).
  4. 4
    Place the sliced onions mushrooms and pepper (if used) on top of filets.
  5. 5
    Pour any left over melted butter over this and sprinkle juice over this.
  6. 6
    Cover with foil and bake in a 350º oven for about 20 minutes (check to see if fish is starting to flake easily, if not bake a little longer).
  7. 7
    Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes or until the crust turns a light golden brown color.
  8. 8
    Serve with pan juices spooned over the fish.

Excellent! Tasted like it came from a restaurant. I chopped up some sun dried tomatoes and shallots and put over the fish which gave it even more flavor. It would be great with some sauteed vegetables.

    The most difficult thing with this recipe is figuring out the quantities to use. I used 4 talapia fillets, (based upon the fact that it says it makes 4-6 servings) but for the breading that is made, I could have probably done about 8 - 10 fillets. Next time, I will use a lot more of the Tony creole seasoning, a little more parmesan, and less lemon. I only used one, but the fish was very lemon-y. I think one lemon for about 8 fillets would have been perfect. The flavor was good and I really enjoyed the jalapenos, mushrooms and onions, which is unusual for a fish dish. I'll probably make this one again, but will do some tweaking.

    The family doesn't eat fresh fish often, but I found tilapia on sale and made this recipe. It was terrific....but there was too many bread crumbs and next time I will use about 1/2 cup less
