Ingredients
  

  • Tilapia Fillets – 4 fillets about 6 oz each
  • Artichokes – 1 can 14 oz, marinated or canned, drained and chopped
  • Parmesan Cheese – 1/2 cup freshly grated
  • Mayonnaise or Greek Yogurt – 1/4 cup
  • Garlic – 2 cloves minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • Lemon Juice – 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed
  • Salt – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper – 1/4 teaspoon
  • Paprika – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Italian Herbs basil, oregano, thyme – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Olive Oil or Butter – 1 tablespoon for greasing the baking dish

Equipment

  • Baking dish (9x13 inches or similar size)
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or butter.
  2. Prepare the Tilapia: Place the tilapia fillets in the baking dish. Pat the fillets dry with paper towels and lightly season with salt and pepper.
  3. Make the Topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the chopped artichokes, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, and Italian herbs. Stir until well combined.
  4. Top the Fish: Spread the artichoke-Parmesan mixture evenly over each tilapia fillet, covering the entire surface.
  5. Bake the Tilapia: Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. If you like a crispier topping, broil for an additional 2–3 minutes at the end.
  6. Serve: Remove the dish from the oven, let it rest for a minute, then serve with your favorite sides, like roasted vegetables, rice, or a salad.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can also freeze the fillets (up to 1 month) by wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
  • Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10–15 minutes or in the microwave for 30-second intervals. For a crispy topping, reheat in the oven.
  • Substitutions: If you want to make the dish dairy-free, substitute dairy-free Parmesan and use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
  • Serving Suggestions: Pair with quinoa, garlic bread, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
