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