Parmesan Tilapia

Happy December everyone! It’s Julie from White Lights on Wednesday and today I’m sharing a quick and easy tilapia dinner that the whole family will love. I served my tilapia up with a Caesar salad and Milanese Risotto.

 

Parmesan Tilapia

A few months ago I got a killer deal on tilapia at the store. I’m talking buy 4 pounds get them at $2.25/lb – so I get all four pounds. Even since I’ve been hunting for ways to use this fish. I have fish & chips on the list, but I wanted some other options too. I found this recipe from MaMa’s Supper Club and had to try it. Even my mom, who’s not the biggest tilapia fan, liked this recipe. Which makes it a winner in my book.

    Is the hot sauce supposed to be in the butter mixture?

    At my local grocery store, in the produce section, they sell a Mango/Peach Salsa. I lay my tilapia fillets in a pan (sprayed with Pam), cover with some of the salsa, cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Yummy!

      You need to fix your broken caps key. It also looks like your “!” Is sticking a little.
