Ingredients

  • 4 tilapia fillets, about 2½ pounds

3. Rinse fish, pat dry and place in prepared pan.

Tip:

Slice and sauté shallots and sprinkle them over the fish for an appealing appearance and taste.

My friend Rozanna’s mother, Lela, gave me the very simple parmesan crusted fish recipe that this dish is based on, and I thought the addition of sun-dried tomatoes was a great complement to the parmesan. If you’re not a fan, leave them out. The dish will still have plenty of flavor.
