Ok I found a recipe for Parmesan crusted tilapia and I used the coating on salmon and it's just as good...take about a tablespoon of margarine/butter ( i use country crock light) per fillet in a bowl and add about a tsp or so of mayo (light will work) about a tblsp or more of Parm cheese (again per fillet) a splash of lemon juice and some basil (about a 1/2 tsp) Mix that all together and lightly coat the top of the fillets, bake at 350 until done. You can also sprinkle some panko bread crumbs for crispy-ness! This is the only way I can get my kids to eat fish! We just had it tonight...works well on a baked chicken breast too!

I know I'm a TOTAL rookie at this, but my first attempt was disasterous! So we're assuming completely thawed filets, right? And about how long should the baking be? How do you know when it's done? Do you put the filet in the oven first for a while & apply the coating later? Sorry for the ignorance.

Try this one:

Ingredients

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon celery salt
2 pounds tilapia fillets

Directions

Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.

In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season with dried basil, pepper, onion powder and celery salt. Mix well and set aside.

Arrange fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan. Broil a few inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fillets over and broil for a couple more minutes. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the Parmesan cheese mixture on the top side. Broil for 2 more minutes or until the topping is browned and fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to over cook the fish.

Thanks! I couldn't remember where I found the recipe. I just had it memorized! Oh and definitely try the panko bread crumbs sprinkled on top...I love the added crunch!
