broiled tilapia parmesan

 







I've had this recipe for a while now and it's a go-to.  We served it at a Christmas dinner party we hosted a few years ago. It is really, really good!  Hall of Fame!

broiled tilapia parmesan adapted from allrecipes.com)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter, softened
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 1/2 pounds tilapia filets

Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil. 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 and for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fillets over and broil for a couple more minutes. Remove the fillets
from the oven and cover then 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. Be careful not to over cook the fish.


What I have to say- you can substitute Mozzarella cheese for the Parmesan if you wish!
