Ingredients
- 4 tilapia fillets
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
- Preheat your broiler on high.
- In a small bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, melted butter, mayonnaise, lemon juice, breadcrumbs, dried basil, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Place the tilapia fillets on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Brush the tops of the fillets with the parmesan mixture, covering them evenly.
- Place the baking sheet with the tilapia fillets under the preheated broiler, about 4-6 inches away from the heat source.
- Broil the tilapia for about 4-6 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fish is cooked through. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets, so keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
- Once the tilapia is cooked, remove it from the broiler and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the broiled tilapia parmesan with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish. This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, a fresh salad, or some pasta.
