- Mmmm..cheesy...buttery fish. So yummy. This recipe is so simple, yet so delicious. Many people find tilapia recipes bland and boring...well, not this one. I absolutely love it served over rice because of the amazing sauce...the rice soaks it up and tastes sooo yummy. This is super easy and better than anything you'd order in a restaurant. Everyone in my family had seconds, and we didn't end up with any leftovers! The texture is perfect, and the zing of the Parmesan and spices were also perfect. The blend of flavors is truly incredible. This recipe is sure to impress!
- 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 seed
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 pounds tilapia fillets
Instructions:
- 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, celery seed, paprika, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. 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.
This is now my mom's favorite fish recipe. And probably my 2nd favorite fish recipe (behind my mommy's salmon, of course, found here). I absolutely love the unique flavor of this dish. The nuts, coconut, and mustard give the fish a wonderful, tasty flavor that I've never had before. The mayonnaise and mustard makes this also the most juicy and moist fish I've ever had. It's so tender on the inside, and then slightly crunchy, sweet, and nutty on the inside. It's also healthier than your usual crusted fish because it's baked, as opposed to fried. Another thing I love about this dish is it's so versatile; you can used different types of mustard, nuts, bread crumbs, and fish fillets, and it always turns out incredibly delicious.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup prepared mustard
- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound whitefish fillets (I used codd)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
- In a small bowl, blend mayonnaise and mustard. In a medium bowl, mix dry bread crumbs, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, sugar, salt, and cayenne pepper.
- Dip fish in the mayonnaise mixture, then in the bread crumb mixture. Arrange coated fish fillets in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake 15-20 minutes in the preheated oven, until fish is easily flaked with a fork.
This is my absolute favorite dinner. I never, ever, ever order salmon at a restaurant because it's never as good as this dish. My mom makes it weekly, and it tastes incredible every time. It's one of those dishes where you have to have it every now and then, or else you will just crave it and crave it (like chocolate). It's the simplest dish to make, yet it has tremendous flavor. Salmon is my favorite fish...it has the richest flavor of any other fish. Did you know that salmon is considered the healthiest food in the world? It has tons of omega threes, protein, and minerals. It's also believed to lower blood pressure and lower your risk for cancer, improve mood, provide eye benefits, and improve joint protection. Scientists believe people should eat salmon, or other fish with healthy fats, at least 2-3 times per week. I can't believe something that is so healthy could taste so good.
Ingredients:
4 large large skinless salmon filets
6 ounces lemon pepper marinade

ground lemon pepper
