Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

By Joan_Z

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheeses
• 1/4 cup butter - softened
• 3 Tbsp. mayonnaise or sour cream
• 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp. dried basil
• 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1/8 tsp. onion powder
• 1/8 tsp. celery salt
• Old Bay seasoning
• Bread crumbs and parsley for garnish
• 2 lbs. tilapia fillets

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat 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 for 2-3 minutes. Flip fillets over and broil for a couple more minutes. Remove the fillets from oven and cover them with Parmesan cheese mixture on top side. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and parsley (if desired). Broil for 2 more minutes, or until the topping is browned and fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the fish.
