Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (6 ounce) tilapia fillets
2 tablespoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons coarsely ground black peppercorns
½ teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, minced

cooking spray
1 sprig parsley, chopped, or more to taste
4 wedges lemon

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose the right tilapia fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a strong fishy smell.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, and rosemary, will add a lot of flavor to the tilapia. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use only half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the tilapia: Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the fillets for just a few minutes per side, or until they are cooked through but still moist and flaky.
  • Serve the tilapia immediately: Tilapia is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to keep the fillets warm for a short period of time, you can cover them with foil or place them in a warm oven.

Conclusion:

Broiled Parmesan Tilapia is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tilapia is seasoned with a simple mixture of herbs and spices, then topped with a crispy Parmesan crust. The result is a delicious and healthy dish that the whole family will enjoy.

Whether you're new to cooking fish or you're looking for a new way to prepare tilapia, this recipe is a great option. It's simple to follow and the results are always delicious.
