I decided to make tilapia for dinner tonight, and although I stuck with the usual "Tilapia with Old Bay and Butter" for Tom, I found a recipe for
Baked Tilapia with Dijon Mayo Sauce to try for myself.
Baked Tilapia with Dijon Mayo Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 large tilapia filets (about 1 pound total)
- ½ cup real mayonnaise
- 1/8 cup shredded Parmesan
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and lightly grease the bottom of a shallow baking dish.
- Pat the tilapia filets dry with a paper towel, then sprinkle both sides of each with salt and pepper to taste. Place them in the baking dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, Parmesan, 1 teaspoon black pepper, garlic powder and parsley. Spoon half of the mixture on each tilapia fillet and spread it out to coat the tops evenly.
- Bake the tilapia filets for 10 minutes and then serve immediately.
I liked it. It was creamy with a delicate flavor, but there was a little too much pepper for me, so if I make this one again, I'd cut the black pepper in half.
