Parmesean Tilapia

December 15th, 2006 by Nikki

This recipe was featured on AllRecipes.com and had really good feedback so we decided to try it. The fillets for this type of fish are tender and flaky and have a very mild sweet taste! Tilapia is a farm raised fresh water fish and should be readily available at your local supermarket in the seafood case and is usually pretty inexpensive. It’s pictured here with jasmine rice and steamed green beans. Its a bit blurry. I will try to get a better one next time we make it.

Talapia for hungry bastard 1

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs Tilapia Fillets
  • 1/2 c. fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 c. butter, softened
  • 3 tbsp. mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp. of dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp. celery salt
  • 1/8 tsp. onion powder

Directions

  1. Place your oven rack a few inches below the broiler so your Talapia will only be a few inches away. Preheat your oven to ‘Broil.’
  2. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.
  3. In a small bowl mix together the Parmesan, mayonnaise, lemon juice, butter, and cheese. Add dried basil, onion powder, celery salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  4. Place the Tilapia Fillets on your prepared pan in a single layer. Broil for 3 minutes (use your timer). Turn the fillets over and broil for two more minutes.
  5. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the cheese mixture on the top side. Broil for 2-3 more minutes or until the topping is browning and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Do not over cook the fish!

EM EM GOOD!!!
