Parmesan-Crusted Tilapia


So I was feeling guilty about my lack of making food recently.  And I really wanted Tilapia.  I searched online for parmesan tilapia because Applebee's used to have a very yummy one on their menu and they no longer do.  What I found isn't much like what they had, but it was very tasty!  Richard and I both enjoyed it.  Though Richard ended up sprinkling it with a cajun seasoning, it was good but he said it needed a little something more.  I can't have the cajun seasoning, but I imagine it would be a nice addition as it did feel like it was missing something. 

The recipe below is the one listed online.  What I did different was I didn't add any salt or pepper (I forgot), the tilapia I bought was 3 fillets (1.25 lbs), so I call it 3 servings and it was 6 pts a serving.  And I used olive oil spray instead of drizzling olive oil on it. The way the recipe is, they call it 4 servings so I'm guessing the points would be less since it would be less of everything per serving.  

It was yummy (and really quick and easy), I'm certain we'll make it again sometime.

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400°.  In a shallow dish, combine the cheese with the paprika and parsley and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the fish with olive oil and dredge in the cheese mixture.
