Baked Tilapia with Parmesan and Panko Crust

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Season both sides of the tilapia fillets with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Melt butter and add diced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped parsley.

Place seasoned tilapia files in a shallow baking pan. Spoon about ½ of the butter sauce over the fillets, making sure to coat the entire surface. Mix the panko and Parmesan cheese together, and spoon equally over each fillet. Bake until starting to turn golden grown (about 10 minutes).

Randomly drizzle some of the remaining butter sauce over the fish and bake another 2 minutes or so. Remove from the oven and serve hot. You can slightly warm up any remaining butter sauce if anyone wants to add some to their fish.
