Ranch Baked Tilapia
Slightly adapted from Linda's Low Carb Recipes
Approved by TSFL Nutritional Support (Matt)

Ingredients:
10 oz tilapia filets, thawed - should yield 7 oz cooked (1 Lean)
1/4 cup light ranch dressing (2 Healthy Fats)
2 tbsp reduced fat parmesan cheese, grated, (2 Condiments)
1/8 tsp black pepper (1/4 Condiment)
1/4 tsp basil (1/4 Condiment)

Directions:
Place fish on a metal cookie sheet lined with non-stick foil. Spread 2 tbsp of ranch dressing on top of the fish fillets. Turn the fillets over and spread the remaining 2 tbsp of dressing evenly on the other side. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese. Bake at 425º 15-20 minutes or until the fish is done. If the top needs browning put the baking pan under the broiler for a few minutes until nice and brown. I broiled mine for 4 minutes. Don't put the pan too close to the broiler element or the cheese will burn. I kept my pan on the middle rack for the baking as well as the broiling.

1 serving with 1 Lean, 2.5 Condiments and 2 Healthy Fats per serving
