Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon Dried dill weed
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and lightly grease a broiler pan or line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Arrange the fillets in a single layer on the prepared broiler pan or lined baking sheet.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, softened butter, mayonnaise, and lemon juice until well blended. Stir in the dried basil, dried dill weed, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the tilapia fillets under the preheated broiler for 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and carefully flip the fillets over.
Spread the Parmesan mixture evenly over the fillets. Return the pan to the oven and broil for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the tilapia from the oven and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
