Broiled Tilapia
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp butter, softened
3 Tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon dried basil (or a generous teaspoon of fresh)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion salt
1/8 teaspoon celery salt
2 pounds tilapia filets (usually about 6 filets)
Preheat broiler. Line pan with aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan, butter, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Add the basil, black pepper, onion & celery salts. Mix well and set aside.
Arrange filets in a single layer on the prepared pan. Broil a few inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fish over and broil for a few more minutes. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the Parmesan mixture on the top side. Broil for 2 more minutes or until the topping is browned and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the fish.
