My husband and I love this.
I followed the recipe exactly. Let me just say my very picky 13 yr old said it was the best fish I ever made. He usually only eats it deep fried. Winner!
Delicious, delicious and one more time absolutely delicious!
I’m so excited to find this recipe! I have used on cod and on halibut also! It’s PERFECT!
Add red chili pepper flakes for a bit of a kick
This was so easy and delicious! I didn’t even had Parmesan so omitted it and added garlic powder. Delicious. Wasn’t sure to broil on high or low so used a mix of both ♀️.
This was a very simple recipe and the fish came out great! My only recommendation is to make sure your tilapia filets are similar sizes and to not overdue the topping on thinner filets since it can overpower them.
Quick, easy, and tasty!
absolutely delish!!! Added bread crumbs to the cheese mixture! It was light flaky and nicely seasoned.
Very easy and quick. Tasty topping on tilapia.
Everybody loved it. Will definitely make it again. 1/25/23- Second time, just as good. Easy and tasty.
This was wonderful, My husband really enjoyed it, I’m trying to get him away from beef and this was delish!
I have made this recipe for 10 years – never changed a thing – so perfect and savory! Also low carb too.
This was quick and easy. Tasted amazing! I used fresh flounder, OJ instead of lemon juice, added garlic powder and used celery seed instead of salt, also used parm/ramano. My family loved it and my neighbor yummed the entire meal.
This was quick and delicious. A definite hit with the family.
We really enjoyed the flavors and will make it again. One problem was that after broiling the talapia to pre-cook it before adding the topping, was that when you add the topping to the hot talapia it tends to melt and roll off the fish. I recommend keeping the mixture in the refrigerator just prior to basting the fish with it in order to lessen this. More topping ending up around the fish than ON the fish.
turned out lovely, I followed to the letter
This is a yummy simple recipe. Even if your family and friends do not love fish, this is a treat that all will enjoy.
we love this recipe! we make it exactly as written. it’s a family favorite!
We eat tilapia almost weekly. So, this was a great way to change it up. We really enjoyed the flavors and we will be making this again!
I have been following this recipe for years and absolutely love it. Last night I incorporated some changes noted on the reviews. I added 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs and garlic powder. Just don’t. The topping was dry and clumpy and flavor was off. This is a recipe that is perfect as written.
