Easy Baked Parmesan Tilapia

(from largomason’s recipe box)

Ingredients

  • 4 tilapia filets (I used fresh, but I think frozen should work too)
  • 3 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup grated/shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • lemon slices for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Pat tilapia dry (if frozen, it should be thawed first) with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Lay on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray and bake for 10-12 minutes. While fish is baking, mix butter with garlic, thyme and parmesan cheese.

  3. Remove fish from oven and gently flip. Spread about 1/2 tablespoons of butter mixture on the fish, and heat the broiler in your oven. Set fish under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, or until cheese gets golden and bubbly.

  4. Serve with lemon.
