Broiled Parmesan Tilapia


1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 T butter, softened
3 tablespoons mayonnaise (low-fat or fat-free works)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon celery salt
2 pounds tilapia fillets

Preheat your oven's broiler. Line a pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season with dried basil, pepper, onion powder and celery salt. Mix well and set aside.

Arrange fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan. Broil a few inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fillets over and broil for a couple more minutes. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the Parmesan cheese mixture on the top side.

Broil for 2 more minutes or until the topping is browned and fish flakes easily with a fork. Watch closely and be careful not to over cook the fish. Serves 8. From allrecipes.com.

*I just do 2 tilapia fillets and half the topping. It is so delicious, we've made this twice already. It is super fast too! I served it with Lemon Rice Pilaf with Pinenuts from the Favorites cookbook and it was perfect.
