How to Make Baked Parmesan Fish With Pasta

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
  3. Gently coat 4 tilapia fillets (6 oz each) in the Parmesan mixture, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated.
  4. Place fillets on a baking rack in a baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  5. While the fish is baking, cook 1 pound pasta according to package directions.
  6. Drain the pasta and toss with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  7. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat.
  8. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 8 oz sliced mushrooms, 2 green onions (chopped), and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  9. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are tender and the mushrooms are softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  10. Season the mushroom mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Place the cooked pasta on plates.
  12. Top with the baked tilapia fillets.
  13. Spoon the mushroom mixture over the fish and pasta.
  14. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs (optional).
  15. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
