Ingredients
 

  • 4 lb Tilapia Filets approximately 4 filets

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425° F and grease a baking rack on a sheet pan, or grease a sheet pan if not using the baking rack.
  • Gently press the tilapia filets between two layers of paper towels to remove excess liquid. Season the filets with salt and pepper. Then transfer to filets to the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the kraft parmesan cheese, fresh parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and cajun seasoning.
  • Squeeze the Lemon juice over the tilapia filets.
