Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
2 Tablespoons butter, softened
1 Tablespoon & 1 1/2 teaspoons of mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon fresh Lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon celery salt
1 lb. tilapia fillets or white mild fish
Juice from a lemon

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to broil & line cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter , mayo, and lemon juice. Add the dried basil pepper, onion powder, & celery salt. mix well & set aside.
3. Arrange fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan. Squeeze a fresh lemon over the top of them. 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. Broil for 2 more minutes or until the topping is browned & fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to over cook the fish.

This recipe is very yummy but pretty salty, so if you don't like salty food, you might want to cut back a little on the celery salt and onion powder. The taste of the fish is so good with this topping. Very easy and quick. Cody said it was one of his favorites for fish!
