Broiled Tilapia Parmesan


This was a yummie meal! We had a scallop dish (upper left), steamed veggies, and the broiled tilapia parmesan. Today, I am sharing the Tilapia recipe.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 Tablespoons mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon dried basil (I used a handful of fresh basil, finely chopped, because I have plenty in my herb garden.)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion salt
1/8 teaspoon celery seed
6-8 tilapia fillets


Line a broiling pan with aluminum foil.

Mix together the cheese, butter, mayo, and lemon juice. Add the seasonings and set aside.

Place fish in a single layer on the broiling pan. Broil 2-3 minutes. Flip the fish and broil 2-3 more minutes. Remove from the oven and coat the top side with the Parmesan mixture and broil for 2 more minutes or until fish flakes easily and topping is browned. Take care to not over cook the fish.
