Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the tilapia fillets in a single layer.
Place the tilapia fillets in the baking dish. Drizzle the lemon juice over the fish, ensuring each fillet gets an even amount to enhance the flavor and help tenderize the fish.
In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, softened butter, mayonnaise, finely chopped onion, dried basil, black pepper, and chili sauce. Mix until well combined to form a creamy, flavorful mixture.
Spread the Parmesan mixture over the top of the tilapia fillets, making sure each fillet is covered evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Allow the fish to rest for a few minutes before serving. Plate the tilapia fillets, garnishing with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.
Tips:
- Use fresh tilapia fillets for the best flavor, but if frozen tilapia is more convenient, make sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- Grate your own parmesan cheese for a richer taste, as pre-grated cheese often contains additives that can affect texture and flavor.
- For a hint of extra flavor, you can add minced garlic to the parmesan mixture.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of chili sauce or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro to add a touch of freshness and color to the dish before serving.
Tilapia Parmesan is a crowd-pleaser that combines tender, flavorful fish with a creamy and cheesy topping. With its simple preparation and delightful taste, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your household. Serve it with a side of vegetables or a salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
