How to make Parmesan Crusted Tilapia

Pre-heat the oven broiler on high.

Place the Tilapia fillets on a small baking sheet lined with tinfoil and sprayed with non-stick spray. Click for a small baking sheet.

Broil for 5 – 10 minutes (depending on thickness) or until almost done.

In a small bowl combine the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise, chives, season salt, dried basil, and black pepper and mix it well.

Spread the cheese mixture on the fillets and broil another 3 – 5 minutes or until browned. Watch closely so it doesn’t burn.

You can also bake this dish. Bake fish in an oven preheated to 425 F for 10 – 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily. Spread the fish with the cheese mixture and bake or broil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. (I highly recommend broiling for the last 5 minutes for browning the cheese.) Baking time will depend on the thickness of the fish you use.

Serve with your favorite side dishes, and enjoy!
