Low Fat Parmesan Crusted Tilapia
One of the most common items that has been recommended while trying to lose weight and eat healthier is to include some fish in your diet as it is low fat and good for you. Although I love fish it is hard to dress up the same old thing all the time and be satisfied. Tilapia is inexpensive and mild in flavor so it is my go-to choice but it just isn’t as versatile as my favorite boneless skinless chicken breasts. This easy and tasty option of Low Fat Parmesan Crusted Tilapia at only 3 Weight Watchers Points per serving is excellent and delicious. I especially love how truly uncomplicated it is to prepare and how it packs great flavor and crunch without the fat you would find in a traditional fried fish dish.
We love to serve this with wild rice and roasted broccoli or fresh green beans. It’s a great tasty meal that is healthy, within our point allowances and satisfying as well. We love the extra kick from the cayenne for a boost of flavor profile but if you prefer milder flavors you can easily leave that ingredient out of this yummy Low Fat Parmesan Crusted Tilapia.

I air fried this for 10 minutes. No need to broil. Turned out delicious!
