Asiago Parmesan Crusted Tilapia Recipes

ASIAGO/PARMESAN TILAPIA IN 20 MINUTES OR LESS!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Spray a 13x9 Pyrex dish with cooking spray.
• Combine lemon juice, mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, and black pepper in a bowl. (I guesstimated the ingredient amounts in a Pyrex measuring cup, squeezing in the lemon juice first, then adding the remaining ingredients ~ EXCEPT the asiago cheese ~ add that last after the fish bakes!).
• Place thawed tilapia fillets in baking dish ~ top with mayo/parmesan cheese mixture ~ spread to cover fillets.
• Bake at 425F for 10-12 minutes, just until fish flakes.
• Top baked fillets with grated asiago cheese ~ (about one tablespoon per fillet).
• Bake 5 more minutes until asiago cheese is lightly browned.
• For a super fast meal, I served this with canned mexi-corn and black beans combined together with a sprinkling of garlic powder and a few dashes of cayenne pepper, and microwaved for two minutes!

• Turn the fillet over in the lemon juice and sprinkle seasoning on the other side.
