Parmesan Crusted Fish
This recipe works best with thin, firm fillets, such as halibut, red snapper, catfish, flounder, talapia etc. The fish is coated with seasoned Parmesan cheese and quickly sautéed. The cheese forms a delicate crust which compliments the fish in both flavor and texture. If small fillets are not available, use larger ones and cut them into smaller pieces.
