Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400ºF. (If using broiling method, turn on broiler.) Line a baking sheet with foil and place thawed tilapia fillets on top. Pat tops of fish dry with a paper towel. Set aside baking sheet.

Step 2

In a small bowl combine ¼ cup parmesan cheese, mayo, lemon juice, softened butter, fresh or dried parsley, garlic, seasoned salt, dried basil, and paprika. Evenly spread parmesan mayo mixture on top of the fish. Sprinkle topping with remaining parmesan cheese.

Step 3

OVEN BAKED TILAPIA: Bake on middle rack for 10 minutes. For a golden, crispy topping turn on broiler and broil an additional 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid overcooking.BROILED TILAPIA: Place rack about 4 inches from heat. Broil for 4-5 minutes, rotating pan halfway through.For baking or broiling, fish is done when inside is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Serve with additional lemon wedges.AIR FRYER: Spray the basket with cooking spray and preheat the oven to 400ºF. Lay the fish in a single layer (may have to cook in batches). Cook for 7-11 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish, until the flesh is white and it flakes easily with a fork.
