Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 8 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

  • 2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning

  • ½ cup salted butter, melted

  • ⅛ cup dry bread crumbs

Directions

  1. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil.

  2. Place fillets on the prepared pan. Stir parsley and lemon-pepper seasoning into the melted butter in a small bowl. Baste fillets with the butter mixture using a turkey baster, using the entire mixture. Sprinkle fillets with bread crumbs.

  3. Broil in the preheated oven until the thickest part of the fish flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 9 minutes.

  4. Remove fish from the pan and place it on a platter. Remove the foil very carefully from the pan, taking care not to spill the excess butter sauce, and pour over the fish. Serve immediately.

Cook's Note:

The thicker and bigger the fillets, the longer the cooking time.
