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.
