Parmesan Broiled Tilapia with Garlic Toast

Just as I have promised, a recipe blog. Better late than never. I made this last night and Rob, once again, LOVED this fish dish. His only complaint was that he wished that there was some kind of lemon sauce to go with it, but I'm not really good in that arena. I like cooking and baking, but alas, I'm not very good in the creative part of cooking. I have no idea where to start nor do I know much about bases and sauces and what not. I do like taking recipes and tweaking them to make them healthier. Which is exactly what this recipe is. 

I had to tweak this recipe because of they high fat content. The original recipe came from this blog:

That's in case you don't care if you're meal is high in fat or not. 

So here's mine out of the oven. DROOL!!!! So nummers! 

And here it is all plated up. I know my pictures really don't do it justice, but I do not try to own up to being a photographer by any means and the only camera I have is my iPhone, so you'll just have to deal with it. As it is here's the recipe:

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

2 tbsp melted butter

4 tbsp greek yogurt

2 tbsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp dried basil

1/4 tsp pepper

1/8 tsp onion powder

4 tilapia fillets from that Costco pack that I spoke of in my other recipe blog about t crispy fish and potatoes.

Preheat the broiler. Mix the cheese, butter, yogurt, lemon juice and seasonings in a small bowl. Arrange the filets in a single layer on the broiler pan. Broil a few inches from the broiler for 2-3 minutes. Flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove fillets from the oven and cover them in the Parmesan mixture on the top side. Broil for another 2 minutes or until the topping gets browned and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to over or under cook the fish.

And there you have it! Super easy and super quick! Love it! I added broccoli to help balance the meal. The toast was to add carbs to the meal since I have to have 2-3 servings per meal. The garlic toast is pretty simple too. After the fish is done, put the toast on a tray and butter one side. Sprinkle with garlic powder. Put in the oven for 2 minutes. (I overcooked mine because I forgot to put a timer on it. That's why they are burnt). If you want both sides toasted, flip them and repeat. Super yummy!

Bon appetite!
