Bohol's Tilapia Recipe

Introduction

Tilapia is a wonderful white fish that can be used in many different dishes. It's mild flavor makes it a great option to use in this recipe and it cooks quickly, making it an easy dinner option if you're pressed for time.

4 tilapia fillets

1 cup of saltine crackers
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon paprika
3 tablespoons butter, melted
Place the saltines in a large bowl and crush them with your hands until they are fine crumbs. Pour into a food processor or blender and add the Parmesan cheese, paprika and melted butter; pulse until blended but not smooth (you want some texture). Pour into baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork when tested; serve immediately.

3/4 cup finely crushed saltine crackers (about 20 crackers)

Crushed crackers are a good choice because they're small and easy to break up. You can use any type of cracker that you like—even bread crumbs!

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Parmesan cheese

Parmesan is a hard, dry cheese that looks like parmesan but tastes different. It's commonly used to top bruschetta and other Italian dishes. To make your own, grate the hard rind from a few pieces of Parmigiano-Reggiano into a bowl using a microplane grater or fine grater until you have 1/2 cup of grated cheese.

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Paprika is a spice made from dried peppers. It's mild and sweet, with a spicy kick that makes it perfect for flavoring dishes. The color of paprika ranges from orange to red and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes.

You can use this recipe as a base for your own version of the fish tacos you love so much—or just enjoy it on its own!

3 tablespoons butter, melted

3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Take a zip-top plastic freezer bag and put inside the crushed crackers, Parmesan cheese and paprika.

To pack the ingredients, take a plastic freezer bag and put inside the crushed crackers, Parmesan cheese and paprika.

Then press out any air from the bag. Use a kitchen scale to measure out 2 ounces of crackers (about 1/2 cup) plus 1 ounce of your choice of shredded cheese (1/4 cup) plus 2 teaspoons of paprika powder.

Zip up the plastic bag and use it as directed on this recipe card!

Dip each fillet into the melted butter and then into the bag with the crumb mixture, pressing gently so that the crumbs adhere to both sides.

Use a fork to separate each fish from its wrapper. If you're using an electric mixer, use it with low speed for about 20 seconds or until dough is formed; if you're doing this by hand (I do it all of the time), don't use too much butter! You want only enough so that it coats your hands nicely but not too much where they get greasy after working with them all day long on something raw like fish. And remember: make sure there's not too much liquid in between layers—you don't want them sticking together like glue at this point!

Arrange fillets in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
