Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and healthy meal.

    I added a little garlic powder to the Parmesan mixture, and it was a huge hit! Definitely a keeper.

    This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! The lemon-Parmesan crust is so flavorful, and the tilapia cooks perfectly under the broiler.

    I was skeptical about the mayonnaise, but it actually adds a wonderful creaminess to the topping. My family loved it!
