Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Quick, easy, and pretty darn good.

2 lbs. tilapia fillets
1/2 C. grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 C. butter, softened
3 Tbs. Mayonnaise
2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/8 tsp. onion powder
1/8 tsp. celery salt

Preheat your ovens broiler, and line the broiling pan with foil. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Now add the basil, pepper, onion powder, and celery salt. Mix well and set aside.

Arrange you tilapia fillets on the prepared broiler pan. Broil a few inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes. Remove from oven, flip the fillet over, and broil for another 2-3 minutes. Remove fillets once again from the oven and top with Parmesan cheese mixture. Place them back under the broiler for another 2-3 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and the fish flakes easily. Be careful not to overcook the fish (though my husband prefers his well done so I tend to keep the fish in for 4 minutes on each of the steps).
