How to Make Baked Tilapia Parmesan
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons butter (melted), 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Arrange 4 tilapia fillets (6 ounces each) in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tilapia is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and evenly spread the parmesan mixture over the top of the tilapia fillets.
- Place the baking dish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned and bubbly. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from broiler and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil (optional).
