Parmesan Tilapia with Mayo Recipe
This Parmesan Tilapia with Mayo is so easy and quick to prepare. It is a mild fish and the sauce on top is cheesy, golden brown and savory. This low-carb Parmesan Crusted Tilapia can be baked or broiled. Ready in just 15 minutes!
Ingredients
- 4 tilapia fillets
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese (or grated)
- 2 Tablespoons butter room temperature
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ⅛ cup chopped chives (dried or fresh)
- ¼ teaspoon season salt
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven broiler on high.
- Place the tilapia fillets on a baking sheet lined with foil and sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
- 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 fish fillets and broil another 3 - 5 minutes or until browned. Watch it closely so it doesn't burn. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use fresh tilapia filets or frozen but you will need to thaw them in the refrigerator first.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
- You can also bake this dish. Bake the fish in an oven preheated to 425 degrees 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.
