When our friends came over for lunch to catch up with me, I served this fish parmesan to them. It’s one of the easiest recipes that I was sure they will love, so I made it for them just so they will enjoy lunch with me and my kids. They loved the simplicity of the recipe and all of the flavors going on in the fish. I really can’t blame them for falling in love with this at first taste.
One of our friends over at Cook The Story has this to say about this recipe:
“This has turned out to be a great recipe for my family. Why? They’re not really huge fish lovers. None of them. But they are Parmigiana lovers. So I take fish, which they tolerate, and top it with crunchy bread crumbs, tomato sauce and cheese, which they love. They dig in. It’s a compromise we can all live with.”
This is indeed a family friendly recipe that even your friends will get to enjoy. You can’t go wrong with serving this to the ones you love. That’s for sure!
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 Tbsp. Bertolli olive oil
- 1/2 tsp. Morton salt
- 1/4 tsp. McCormick black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. McCormick garlic powder
- 6 thin white fish fillets, such as tilapia
- 3 tsp. Heinz mustard, yellow or dijon
- 3/4 cup Heinz tomato sauce
- 1 cup Sargento shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a large pan with foil and spray it with baking spray (or grease it lightly with a dribble of olive oil).
- In a small bowl combine the panko, olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Set aside.
- Arrange fish fillets in a single layer on pan. Brush tops with the mustard. Sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture and press gently to help it adhere to the mustard.
- Bake until breadcrumbs are nice and brown, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce onto each fillet and then top each with one-sixth of the cheese. Return to the oven just until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Double check that the fish is flaky and cooked through before serving.
