A delightful twist on a classic tilapia recipe, featuring a crispy parmesan and herb crust.
Preheat your oven to broil and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine grated parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and chopped parsley.
Ensure the mixture is well blended for an even coating.
Place the tilapia fillets on the prepared baking sheet and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Drying the fillets helps the topping adhere better.
Spread the parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.
Use a spatula to spread the mixture smoothly and evenly.
Broil the fillets in the oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Keep an eye on the fish to avoid overcooking.
Serve the tilapia fillets with a wedge of fresh lemon for squeezing over the top.
The lemon juice adds a bright, fresh flavor to the dish.
