Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven's broiler to high and position an oven rack about 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Arrange the fillets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, melted butter, fresh lemon juice, dried basil, ground black pepper, onion powder, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Spoon the Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each tilapia fillet, spreading it out to cover the surface completely.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook the fillets for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the Parmesan topping is golden brown.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven, let the tilapia cool slightly, and transfer to serving plates.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
