Instructions
Place a rack 4 inches from heat source and preheat broiler to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; mist with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, stir together Parmesan, butter, mayonnaise, lemon juice, basil, tsp. pepper, garlic powder and crushed crackers until thoroughly mixed.
Place topping mix in freezer while preparing fish.
Place fillets in a single layer on baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil until fish is opaque, 7 to 8 minutes.
Remove from oven and spread cracker mixture evenly over filets. Broil until topping is golden brown and edges of fillets are crispy, about 2 minutes.
Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir, Sparkling Wine
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Tilapia. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try Zind-Humbrecht Calcaire Pinot Gris. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 46 dollars per bottle.
Zind-Humbrecht Calcaire Pinot Gris
Bright yellow/gold color, quite luminous. Superb smoky toasty nose, typical for this grape on limestone in Alsace (no new oak in our wines, just very long total lees contact). Some light reductive aromas that actually fit the style of dry Pinot-Gris. The palate is rich and creamy, with a velvety texture yet fully dry. It is an easy wine to drink now as there is no unnecessary weight. The finish is nice and round but fully dry. The complex limestone blend brings great acid balance and a certain weight. It should develop very nicely over the next few years.
