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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven's broiler to high and position an oven rack about 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Spoon the Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each tilapia fillet, spreading it out to cover the surface completely.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven, let the tilapia cool slightly, and transfer to serving plates.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
