Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Spray a 9X13 baking dish with Non-stick Cooking Spray. Place the 4
Tilapia fillets in the dish and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the Panko bread crumbs and 1/2 cup Parmesan
cheese to make the crust for the topping. Set aside.
To assemble the Parmesan Base, place 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1
Tbsp. parsley and the prepared Alfredo sauce in a medium bowl and
stir well. Remove 1/2 cup of the mixture (reserving the rest to
make the Parmesan Cream Sauce) and brush onto the 4 pieces of
Tilapia, making a thick, even covering on the fish. Evenly sprinkle
the Parmesan Crust on top of the fish. Bake on the top shelf of the
oven for 15-20 minutes or until fish reaches 140-150 degrees and
the crust is golden brown.
Meanwhile while the fish is baking, make the Parmesan Cream sauce.
Place the remaining Parmesan Base in a medium sauce pan, add the
fresh Basil, Wine, and Half and Half and heat over medium heat
until the sauce is simmering, stirring often.
Toss the Parmesan Cream Sauce and the Linguini together and serve
with the Parmesan Crusted Tilapia. Sprinkle with additional
Parmesan cheese if desired.
