Time 20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning
½ cup salted butter, melted
⅛ cup dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil.
  • Place fillets on the prepared pan. Stir parsley and lemon-pepper seasoning into the melted butter in a small bowl. Baste fillets with the butter mixture using a turkey baster, using the entire mixture. Sprinkle fillets with bread crumbs.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until the thickest part of the fish flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 9 minutes.
  • Remove fish from the pan and place it on a platter. Remove the foil very carefully from the pan, taking care not to spill the excess butter sauce, and pour over the fish. Serve immediately.
