I had an extra tilapia filet leftover from when I made that other tilapia recipe the other day ago. This tilapia is coated in parmesan cheese, dried parsley flakes, and a little bit of paprika. I’ve been thinking of ways you could coat chicken/fish with bread crumbs and came across this parmesan cheese coated tilapia filet. There is the answer, parmesan cheese!
I made this tilapia for one person. You can easily double the amount if making for more than 1. Usually, when I have a very light meal like this, I need a second meal or snack later on in the night. I’ll make a peanut butter protein shake which I plan on sharing soon or some string cheese and lightly salted peanuts.
Oh guys, I don’t want to go to work tomorrow. It was nice having a 4 day weekend and I got so much done. Next week is still a short week though, thanks to New Years. I never have any plans for New Years, can never stay up past 10pm anymore.

4 oz filet
Trudy says
Are the points for one 4oz tilapia filet or 8 Oz of tilapia filet? Also… I’m confused with the amount of Parmesan cheese you use… when you triple the recipe it says 6 four Oz filets and 12 Tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
Jenna says
Sorry about that, recipe updated. 🙂
Dee says
Wha
How come you list olive oil in the ingredients but no mention on the direction?
Jenna says
The nutrition info is for one!

You said you made this for one person, but it says two servings in the nutrition information. I was just wondering if the smart points were for 1 serving or 2? Looks delicious, I’m going to make it soon!
