Baked Tilapia with Dijon Mayo Sauce

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

1. Preheat oven to 425°F and lightly grease the bottom of a shallow baking dish.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
