Ingredients

  • A dash of olive oil to coat the pan
  • Finely chopped garlic cloves for flavor
  • Generous portion of grated Parmesan cheese
  • Softened buttery spread for a creamy texture
  • Crushed slivered almonds for a crunchy bite
  • Reduced-fat olive oil mayonnaise for richness
  • Bread crumbs for a crispy topping
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice for a zesty kick
  • Seafood seasoning to enhance the taste
  • Dried basil for a hint of herbaceousness
  • Ground black pepper for a touch of heat
  • Onion powder and celery salt for depth of flavor
  • Fresh tilapia fillets weighing a pound

Step 1

Prepare your oven by adjusting the rack to a spot around 6 inches from the fiery heat and preheat the broiler. For easy cleanup, either line a broiling pan with aluminum foil or give it a quick spritz of olive oil cooking spray.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, infuse the air with the delightful aroma of garlic by stirring it in olive oil for 3 to 5 minutes until it gets all fragrant and golden.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine a flavorful medley of Parmesan cheese, garlic, buttery spread, almonds, mayonnaise, bread crumbs, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, basil, black pepper, onion powder, and celery salt.

Step 4

Lay out the tilapia fillets neatly on the prepared pan. Shield them with a layer of aluminum foil and slide the pan into the oven under the broiler.

Step 5

After 2 to 3 minutes, gracefully flip the fillets, cover them again, and let them dance under the broiler for another 2 to 3 minutes. Uncover the pan, generously coat the fillets with the Parmesan cheese mixture, and let them sizzle in the oven until the fish flakes with tenderness and the topping turns a beautiful golden brown, for about 2 more minutes.
