How do you prepare Red Pepper & Parmesan Tilapia

 #### Preparation of Red Pepper & Parmesan Tilapia

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to prepare Red Pepper & Parmesan Tilapia:

1. **Prepare the Tilapia**: Rinse tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper.

2. **Prepare the Coating**: On another plate or shallow bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. You can also add parsley, paprika, and salt to this mixture for additional flavor.

3. **Coat the Tilapia**: Dip each tilapia fillet into the egg, allow excess to drip off, then dip into the cheese and red pepper mixture. Make sure the fillets are well coated.

4. **Cook the Tilapia**: Place the Parmesan coated tilapia onto a prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops of the fillets with a little cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil. Place them in the oven and broil for 7-10 minutes or until the thickest part of the fish is opaque.

5. **Prepare the Roasted Red Pepper Sauce**: While the tilapia is cooking, you can prepare the roasted red pepper sauce. The sauce can be served underneath the plated tilapia or on the side, either way, you are going to want to repeatedly dip the fish in it.

6. **Serve**: Serve the tilapia on top of some of the roasted red pepper sauce. Garnish each serving with fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, or chives, a lemon wedge, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. You can also sprinkle with additional red pepper flakes for some heat.
