Ingredients

  • 4 tilapia filets
  • Juice from 1 lemon about 2 tablespoons
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 tablespoons butter room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 dashes Frank’s hot sauce or your favorite hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
  2. Rinse filets, and pat dry with paper towels. Lay the tilapia filets in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Squeeze lemon juice over fish, being careful not to let any seeds get into your pan.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine Parmesan, butter, mayonnaise, chives, Old Bay, salt, pepper, and basil until smooth.
  5. Bake fish for 15 minutes, until opaque and just starting to flake. Carefully remove baking dish from oven. Spread 1/4 butter mixture over each of the tilapia filets.
  6. Bake for another 5 minutes, until butter mixture melts and coats fish.
