Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C), and gather all of your ingredients. Prepare the Basmati Rice (1/3 cup) according to the instructions.
Step 2
Begin by preparing the herbs. Roughly chop the fresh Fresh Parsley (1 handful) and Fresh Dill (1 handful) together and set aside. Chop the fresh Fresh Basil (1/2 bunch) separately and set aside.
Step 3
Add the chopped parsley and herbs with the Italian-Style Breadcrumbs (2 cups) in a deep plate or square dish and combine.
Step 4
Pat the Tilapia Fillets (3) dry with a paper towel. In a dish, pour the Italian Dressing (1/2 cup) over the tilapia, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan Cheese (1 cup) Season with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) covering the fish evenly.
Step 5
Then roll fish in the breadcrumbs & herbs mixture. Place the breaded fish on a lined sheet pan.
Step 6
Add a little more parmesan and breadcrumbs to make sure the fish is evenly covered. Place the pan in the preheated oven at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 12-15 minutes.
Step 7
While the fish is in the oven, start the bruschetta topping. First, cut the Cherry Tomatoes (2 cups) into quarters by cutting them in half then half again.
Step 8
Place the cut tomatoes in a bowl. Halve and juice the Lemon (1) into the bowl. Then add chopped basil, Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (3 Tbsp) , Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) . Place aside until fish is cooked.
Step 9
Mix the Basil Pesto (2 Tbsp) with the cooked rice.
Step 10
For the rice, tightly pack it in a small, fun shaped bowl. Then turn the bowl upside down on the plate. Once the bowl is removed, the rice will keep its shape. For the fish, simply spoon the bruschetta topping over the tilapia. Enjoy!
