Parmesan Tilapia

We had a pleasant rainy day just hanging out & watching movies. Even though I did not want to cook tonight, I like to make a good Sunday night dinner for the hubs to start his week off right. So, I tried a new recipe tonight! & it was fabulous. We have been trying to eat more fish & the hubs loves talapia. I don't mind it but I really wanted to find a recipe that would have me wanting more. & this people, is the recipe!!! It is from All Recipes.  I'm sure you could use other fish & I saw comments that people take out the mayo & substitute it with other things to make it healthier. But really, you should try it!!!!

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

Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season with dried basil, pepper, onion powder and celery salt. Mix well and set aside.

Arrange fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan. I like to sprinkle the fillets with salt, pepper, and a little Cajun seasoning for some kick. 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 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 over cook the fish. This yields 4 servings.

 

 Well, hope you all have a great week. Come back & visit sometime ;o)
