Rating

A 5 for a fish person.

This is a slight modification of a Rachel Ray recipe. I took the remaining coating and piled it on top after the initial coating.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees convection.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Wash and pat dry tilapia.

Mix Parmesan, paprika, parsley, salt and pepper in a shallow pan.

Brush tilapia with oil on both sides and then dredge in the Parmesan mixture patting the coating on. Place on the baking sheet. Take remaining Parmesan mixture and pat on top of the already coated fish. Bake for about 12 minutes until flaky.
