This dish is a favorite served in restaurants across the nation. Tilapia is a mild fish that works for non-fish lovers as well. My friends and family beg me to make this dish.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon celery salt
  • 2 pounds tilapia fillets

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise and lemon juice.
  3. Season with dried basil, pepper, onion powder and celery salt. Mix well and set aside.
  4. Arrange fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan. Broil a few inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Flip the fillets over and broil for a couple more minutes.
  6. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the Parmesan cheese mixture on the top side.
  7. Broil for 2 more minutes or until the topping is browned and fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to over cook the fish.
  8. Tip:  Cut center vein out of the tilapia to remove fishy flavor.

I loved this, except that I used walleye instead and sprinkled on a bit of garlic powder. Delicious!
