I tend to get in a fish rut - falling back on my tried and true tilapia amandine even when there are lots of other great recipes to try. So I kicked myself out of a rut and I am so glad I did! This version of fish is absolutely delicious, and super easy.
This parmesan version is a combination of several I've seen on the web and pinterest. It is so fast that it can be on the table in less than 20 minutes, if you can make a few side dishes that fast!
Start by patting the fish dry and then place it on a lightly greased rimmed baking sheet. (You could use a cake pan, also.) Brush the fish with lemon juice.
Bake for 5-10 minutes. (This will depend on the thickness of your filets - mine were quite thin and 6 minutes was perfect.) While the fish bakes, you can whip up the topping. In a small bowl, combine the butter, mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning,

basil and parmesan cheese.

Mix well with a fork, making sure to smash up any chunks of parmesan.

and return to the oven for 5-8 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. I'm so glad to have another great recipe to use for tilapia! (Try the side dish, too - Balsamic Roasted Green Beans!)
