I love me some tilapia but when I saw this recipe that uses mayonnaise in baking it, I thought “this can’t be good.” Even if it was coming from Martha. I mean I’ve had mayonnaise with fish before — but on fish sandwiches. After it’s been cooked. I don’t think I’ve ever baked with mayo before but there is always a first time for everything.
I’m so glad I gave this a chance because it was so good. I made it in a foil packet with veggies and I have to say that is my favorite way to cook.

1 small yellow squash, thinly sliced
1 small calabassa (Spanish squash), thinly sliced
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season fillets generously with salt and pepper. Divide mayonnaise evenly over top of fillets; using a butter knife, spread, coating evenly. Sprinkle fish with parsley and chives. Season vegetables with salt and pepper.
