Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup buttery spread (such as Smart Balance®), softened
¼ cup slivered almonds, crushed
3 tablespoons reduced-fat olive oil mayonnaise
2 tablespoons bread crumbs
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
¼ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon onion powder
⅛ teaspoon celery salt
1 pound tilapia fillets

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a broiling pan with aluminum foil or spray with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Mix Parmesan cheese, garlic, buttery spread, almonds, mayonnaise, bread crumbs, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, basil, black pepper, onion powder, and celery salt together in a bowl.
  • Arrange tilapia fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan; cover pan with aluminum foil.
  • Broil in the preheated oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip fillets, cover pan with aluminum foil, and broil for 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove aluminum foil and cover fillets with Parmesan cheese mixture. Broil in the oven until fish flakes easily with a fork and topping is browned, about 2 more minutes.

The fish was a little overcooked, but the crust was still good.

This recipe is a little bland for my taste. I added some garlic and lemon pepper to the crust and it was much better.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the almonds from the crust. It was still delicious!

I used a different type of fish (cod) and it worked just as well. This recipe is very versatile.

I substituted panko breadcrumbs for the almonds and it turned out great! The crust was still crispy and flavorful.

This recipe was a hit! The tilapia was flaky and tender, and the almond-Parmesan crust was crispy and flavorful. I served it with roasted vegetables and a side of rice.
