A creamy parmesan coating tops the tilapia and makes a really flavorful seafood dish. Although I haven't tried it, I imagine it would work on other types of fish as well.
Ingredients:
1 cup mayonnaise (not miracle whip)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons dill weed
4 -8 tilapia fillets (this recipe will coat 4-8 pieces fish, depending on the size of the pieces)
Directions:
1. Mix all liquids and spices together. If it appears too thick (like really thick paste), add a little extra mayo. If it appears too creamy, add another few shakes of cheese. Like Rachael Ray says, Eyeball it . The consistency will be thick, but still stir able and slightly creamy.
2. Next, take the fish, one fillet at a time, and coat only one side with mixture, making sure you coat the whole side. Normally about 2-2 1/2 tablespoons of mixture should do it, per piece of fish.
3. Place fish (coating side up) in a slightly greased oven dish and bake on lower rack at 350°F for 35 minutes. Don't get worried if it browns some; some browning adds to the flavor. When I bake this, it normally gets light brown all over, so don't worry if you see if turning brown. Also, don't be surprised if the coating mixture slides off a little. This is normal.
4. Serve with stuffing or wild rice, and a salad and you have a great, easy meal.
