Ingredients

  • 6 5-oz Tilapia fillets
  • 1 1/2 tsp Garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper ((optional))
  • 1/3 cup Grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1 tsp Dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 medium Lemon ((optional; sliced into wedges))
  • 2 cups Soft veggies of your choice ((like asparagus, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, or green beans))
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Lightly grease a sheet pan with oil.

  2. 2

    Place the tilapia fillets on the lined pan. Season with garlic salt and black pepper on both sides.

  3. 3

    Spread about 2 teaspoons (8 g) of mayonnaise over each filet.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, mix together the parmesan, oregano, basil, and paprika.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the parmesan mixture on top of each fish fillet.

  6. 6

    Optional step: If you want to make a sheet pan dinner, arrange soft veggies in a single layer around the fish. (Harder vegetables are not recommended, because they won't cook through by the time the fish is done.) Drizzle them with olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.

  7. 7

    Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the parmesan is golden brown. Squeeze with fresh lemon before serving, if desired.
