Categories     Seafood     Fish     Tilapia

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets
2 tablespoons Miami-style sazon seasoning (sazon completa)
1 serving olive oil cooking spray (such as PAM®)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter-margarine blend (such as Smart Balance®), melted

2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
⅛ teaspoon dried basil
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon onion powder

  • Sprinkle tilapia with sazon seasoning and arrange on the prepared broiler rack.
  • Cook the fillets under the preheated broiler until fish is barely opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Mix the Parmesan cheese, butter-margarine blend, fat-free mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, basil, black pepper, onion powder, and celery salt together in a bowl.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Season your tilapia generously: Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking tilapia, it's important to give it enough space in the pan so that it can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the fish will steam instead of fry and it won't be as crispy.
  • Cook the tilapia until it's cooked through: The best way to tell if tilapia is cooked through is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fish flakes easily, it's done.
  • Serve the tilapia immediately: Tilapia is best served immediately after it's cooked. You can garnish it with lemon wedges, parsley, or your favorite sauce.

Conclusion:

Lemon parsley tilapia is a simple but delicious dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and it's packed with flavor. If you're looking for a healthy and flavorful fish recipe, this is the one for you!
