Baked Tilapia

I came up with this tilapia recipe, but please note that I usually just toss ingredients on it, so the recipe is adjustable to your desire since the measurements may not be completely accurate. It's very easy and delicious.

Baked Tilapia

For about 2-3 fillets:

1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp butter, softened
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried minced onion
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 C parmesean cheese
1/4 C bread crumbs (you can use normal or herb-seasoned panko. I love to combine the two!)
1/2 tsp parsley

 
I use frozen tilapia fillets while making this. To defrost them, place each fillet in a bowl of lukewarm water--just enough to cover them. For me this usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes.

Once they are defrosted, line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and place fillets on top. Divide each ingredient in half. Spread butter on top and then sprinkle with lemon juice. Lightly add remaining spices (except parsley), parmesean cheese, and breadcrumbs. Flip each fillet over and repeat with remaining half of ingredients. Garnish with parsley then bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
