Almond Parmesan Crusted Tilapia

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Almond Parmesan Crusted Tilapia.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven's broiler and adjusting the rack so it sits about 6 inches from the heat source.

2. Step 2

   To make cleanup a breeze, line your broiling pan with aluminum foil or give it a light spray of olive oil cooking spray.

3. Step 3

   Next, heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

4. Step 4

   Once the oil is warm, toss in the minced garlic and sauté it for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until it becomes wonderfully fragrant—this is where the magic begins! In a mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, sautéed garlic, buttery spread, crushed almonds, mayonnaise, bread crumbs, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, dried basil, black pepper, onion powder, and celery salt.

5. Step 5

   Stir everything together until it’s well blended and you can almost taste the deliciousness.

6. Step 6

   Now, take your tilapia fillets and lay them out in a single layer on the prepared broiling pan.

7. Step 7

   Cover the pan with aluminum foil to keep the moisture in.

8. Step 8

   Broil the fillets for 2 to 3 minutes, then carefully flip them over, cover again with foil, and broil for another 2 to 3 minutes.

9. Step 9

   Once that’s done, remove the foil and generously spread the Parmesan mixture over the fillets.

10. Step 10

    Pop the pan back under the broiler and let it cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping turns a beautiful golden brown—this should take about 2 more minutes.
