Ingredients
- 4 Tilapia fillets
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your broiler to high and move the oven rack to about 4–6 inches from the heating element.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, softened butter, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried basil, black pepper, and paprika until well combined. Set aside.
Step 4
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Broil the tilapia fillets for 3–4 minutes, or until the fish is just starting to flake and is almost cooked through.
Step 6
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Spread the Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.
Step 7
Return the baking sheet to the broiler and continue broiling for another 2–3 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the fillets rest for a minute before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
