How to Make Broiled Parmesan Tilapia

  1. Preheat your broiler to high heat.
  2. Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Place tilapia fillets (about 6 ounces each) in a single layer on the prepared broiler pan.
  5. Brush the tilapia fillets with the olive oil mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  6. Broil the fillets 4-6 inches from the broiler element for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the edges begin to turn opaque.
  7. Flip the fillets again and generously sprinkle each with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Continue broiling for 2-3 minutes, or until the Parmesan cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from broiler and serve immediately. Enjoy!
