MERTZIE'S BAKED PESTO TILAPIA
I've just recently started making tilapia, and I've found it to be most versatile. I've been having fun making up recipes for tilapia foil packets. This one ended up my favorite (so far!). Flavors are awesome!

Steps:
- Preheat broiler. Pat the tilapia dry with a paper towel. Place on a baking sheet lined with foil. Coat the foil with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking. Sprinkle each fillet with 2 Tbsp. of Parmesan cheese. Broil for 10-11 min. or till the fish is no longer translucent & the cheese is browned on top. Top each fillet with fresh tomatoes & a Tbsp. of pesto. If you have any remaining cheese, add just a tiny bit over the top of the fish, tomatoes & pesto; serve immediately.
PESTO CRUSTED TILAPIA
A couple of weeks ago at work, we had this AMAZING pesto crusted salmon left over from a meeting. I have wanted to recreate the recipe ever since, and decided to give it a try with tilapia. I'm sure you could use this topping on any fish and it would be fantastic -- I'm dying to try it with a nice big piece of salmon. It is such an easy recipe and I'm sure it would be even better with homemade pesto.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cover a baking sheet with foil and coat with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place fish fillets on baking sheet and sprinkle with black pepper. No salt is needed as pesto and parmesan cheese are both pretty salty.
- In a small bowl, combine pesto, breadcrumbs, and parmesan cheese (hands or a fork will do).
- Divide the topping evenly over the fish fillets, spreading with your fingers and pressing into the fish.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees, then switch to broil to crisp up the crust for the last 2-5 minutes.
- If the middle of the fillet flakes with a fork and is completely opaque, it's time to dig in!
- Serve with steamed broccoli and brown rice pilaf for a healthy dinner.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place foil on a cookie sheet. Place fish on the foil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Top with pesto, tomatoes and then cheese (in order).
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until fish flakes with fork.
- *Note: I don't care for pesto except in this recipe. To prevent wasting the rest of the pesto in the jar, I make one recipe for dinner and freeze the ingredients to have another day. Just place each of the ingredients (except salt & pepper) in its own quart-size freezer bag, then place all in a gallon-size freezer bag along with directions and freeze. When ready to make, just thaw completely and follow the above directions to prepare.
