Instructions
Broil Tilapia with Topping
Start by moving an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheating it. Line a broiler pan with foil for easy cleanup. Place the tilapia fillets on the pan. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with chopped parsley and lemon-pepper seasoning. Use a turkey baster or spoon to generously brush this buttery mixture all over the fish. Sprinkle some bread crumbs on top for a nice crunch. Pop the pan under the broiler and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, which should take around 7 to 9 minutes. When it’s done, carefully lift the foil off the pan so you don’t lose any of the buttery sauce, pour that over the fish, and serve right away.

Serving Suggestions

Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the fish tender and avoid drying it out.
