A delightful twist on a classic tilapia recipe, featuring a creamy Parmesan topping and a hint of lemon.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the fish inside for even cooking.
Lightly grease a baking dish and arrange the tilapia fillets in a single layer.
Use a non-stick spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the fillets.
Roll the lemon on the countertop before cutting to release more juice.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise, green onions, seasoning salt, dried basil, and black pepper. Mix well with a fork.
Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until it begins to flake easily with a fork.
Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Spread the prepared topping evenly over the fillets and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
Keep a close eye on the fish during this step to avoid overcooking.
Serve the tilapia hot with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added color and flavor.
