Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

This is my favorite recent find! It is so easy to succumb to the boring ol' grilled fish, but this manages to add a lot of flavor while keeping the fish a lightweight meal! I served with a side of steamed brown rice and green peas. And mayo haters, be of good cheer...you can't taste it a bit. Half the recipe if you like; we had enough for dinner and lunch the next day.

  • 1/2 c Parmesan
  • 1/4 butter, room temperature
  • 3T mayonnaise
  • 2T lemon juice
  • 1/4t dried basil
  • 1/8 t onion powder
  • 1/8t celery salt
  • 2 lbs tilapia fillets

  1. preheat broiler and line cookie sheet with foil
  2. mix Parmesan, butter, mayo, and lemon juice thoroughly, then stir in seasonings
  3. arrange fillets on foil and broil 3 minutes per side
  4. spread cheese mixture over tops of fish, then broil 3 more minutes
