Quick and easy broiled tilapia with creamy Parmesan topping, perfect for busy weeknights!
Ingredients:
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.25 cup buttery spread (such as Smart Balance®), softened
  • 0.25 cup slivered almonds, crushed
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-fat olive oil mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
  • 0.25 teaspoon dried basil
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.125 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.125 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 pound tilapia fillets
Instructions:
  • Preheat the broiler with the oven rack positioned 6 inches from the heat source. Prepare a broiling pan by lining it with aluminum foil or spraying it with olive oil cooking spray.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, sauté garlic in olive oil until fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Combine Parmesan cheese, garlic, buttery spread, almonds, mayonnaise, bread crumbs, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, basil, black pepper, onion powder, and celery salt in a bowl and mix well.
  • Lay tilapia fillets in an even layer on the pan and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Broil fish fillets in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip fillets, cover with foil, and broil for another 2 to 3 minutes. Uncover, spread Parmesan cheese mixture over fillets, and broil until topping is golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork, approximately 2 more minutes.
