Broiled Tilapia Parmesan Recipe

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Ingredients

  • 1/4 c. Parmesan cheese
  • 2 T. butter softened
  • 1 T. and 1 1/2 t. Miracle Whip or mayo
  • 1 T. fresh lemon juice
  • 1/8 t. dried basil
  • 1/8 t. ground pepper recipe calls for black, but I used white
  • 1/8 t. onion powder optional – I didn’t use it
  • 1/8 t. celery salt I used regular salt
  • 1 lb. tilapia filets

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven broiler.
  2. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayo (or Miracle Whip) and lemon juice. 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. Flip the fillets over and broil a couple more minutes. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the Parmesan cheese mixture on the top side. 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.
