Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup buttery spread (such as Smart Balance®), softened
¼ 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®)
¼ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon onion powder
⅛ teaspoon celery salt
1 pound tilapia fillets

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a broiling pan with aluminum foil or spray with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Mix Parmesan cheese, garlic, buttery spread, almonds, mayonnaise, bread crumbs, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, basil, black pepper, onion powder, and celery salt together in a bowl.
  • Arrange tilapia fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan; cover pan with aluminum foil.
  • Broil in the preheated oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip fillets, cover pan with aluminum foil, and broil for 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove aluminum foil and cover fillets with Parmesan cheese mixture. Broil in the oven until fish flakes easily with a fork and topping is browned, about 2 more minutes.

This recipe is a great way to cook tilapia. The fish is flaky and moist, and the crust is crispy and flavorful.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tilapia. I had some leftover from a fish fry and I didn't know what to do with it. I found this recipe and it was perfect. The almond-parmesan crust added a lot of flavor to the fish.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I had to make several trips to the grocery store to find all the ingredients. The end result was good, but I don't think it was worth all the effort.

The recipe was easy to follow and the tilapia was cooked perfectly. However, I found the almond-parmesan crust to be a bit bland. I think adding some herbs or spices to the crust would have improved the flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the fish turned out dry and overcooked. I think the cooking time was too long.
