PARMESAN BAKED TILAPIA

Here’s another Lenten dish for you!!!  One of the courses I taught at the College of DuPage was Basic Cooking.  I tried to tie in some cooking techniques along with introducing the class to new ingredients, food groups and terms as well as some interesting yet easy recipes.    Here is one of the recipes I researched.   It’s easy enough, so enjoy!!

PARMESAN BAKED TILAPIA

4 tilapia filets (orange roughy, cod, white fish can be substituted)

2 tablespoon lemon juice

½ cup parmesan cheese

4 tablespoon butter

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 green onions

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon dried basil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1.     Place the filets in a greased or non-stick baking dish.

2.     Brush the tops with lemon juice

3.     Bake fish in oven for 10-15 minutes or until the fish just starts to flake.

4.     Combine cheese, butter, mayonnaise, onions and seasonings in bowl and mix well.

5.     Spread cheese mixture over filets and bake in oven until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. (You can put under broiler for about 2 minutes, but check often to make sure it does not burn
