The Hubs is making me post this one. He feels this Lemon Parmesan Fish is a keeper that must be repeated again and again. He is right!
Not only did he fill in on the cooking duty (because I was swamped with grant deadlines and he had a day-off) but he even insisted on snapping the photo. Really, he should be writing this post too, don't you agree?
The dish came together quickly and had gourmet results in under 30 minutes from start to finish.
We've experienced some hot weather lately and the night this tilapia was prepared was no exception so rather than heat up the house, the Hubs put the 13x9 inch glass dish on the Traeger grill and proceeded to cook it exactly as you would in the oven at 400 degrees.
Lemon Parmesan Tilapia
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound of white fish filets (cod, tilapia, etc.)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 tablespoon dried onions or chopped fresh chives or fresh scallions, chopped
1 tablespoon capers
A squeeze of lemon juice and a little lemon zest, if possible
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven or grill to 400 degrees. Pour olive oil in the bottom of a 9x13 inch glass casserole dish.
2. Dip the top side of fish and cover the filet with grated parmesan cheese.
3. Bake in the oven or grill for 20-25 minutes. (The Traeger grill took a little closer to 30 minutes. Just check when the fish begins to flake with a fork.)
4. Top tilapias with squeeze of lemon juice and capers before serving.
