A flavorful and easy-to-make tilapia dish with a crispy Parmesan topping.
Preheat your oven's broiler to high.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy topping.
Grease a broiling pan or line it with aluminum foil.
Lining the pan with foil makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise, lemon juice, basil, black pepper, onion powder, and paprika. Mix until smooth.
Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
Arrange the tilapia fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan.
Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Broil the fillets for 3 minutes on one side.
Keep a close eye on the fillets to prevent overcooking.
Flip the fillets over and broil for another 3 minutes.
Use a spatula to gently flip the fillets without breaking them.
Remove the fillets from the oven and spread the Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.
Spread the mixture evenly for consistent flavor.
Return the fillets to the oven and broil for an additional 2 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
Watch closely to avoid burning the topping.
Serve the fillets hot with your choice of sides.
Garnish with a wedge of lemon for added freshness.
