Parmesan-Crusted Tilapia

This was delicious. Light and easy.  Could do it with any white fish, and could bake or broil it.

Ingredients:

4 Tilapia fillets
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
1 1/2 tsp. Paprika
1 1/2 tsp. Parsley (fresh or dried)
Salt + Pepper, to taste
Olive Oil

1. Turn broiler on to preheat. Cover broiling pan with foil and drizzle with a little olive oil.

2. Mix parmesan, paprika, parsley, salt and pepper in a shallow dish.

3. Gently rinse the tilapia and pat dry.  Drizzle with some olive oil and press the mixture onto the fish.

I made the mistake, as shown above, of adding on extra crumbs to the fish.  Don't do this.  Shake the excess off, otherwise it burns in the broiler.  If you were to put this fish in the oven though (as the original recipe calls for), I imagine that you could go nuts with the topping.

4. Broil for 5 minutes on each side, or until tilapia is cooked through and topping is golden.

Paired it with barley and corn.  Yum.
