Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Brandon likes to find his own creations sometimes. He found this one day looking on his favorite recipe  site: allrecipes.com. This recipe is delicious. It tastes almost like there is a pesto on it...which would also be good. Very fast and easy. We half the recipe and have leftovers. A full recipe would serve about 8. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup butter
3 TBSP mayonnaise
2 TBSP lemon juice
1/4 tsp dried basil (fresh would be awesome too)
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp 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. Season with dried basil, pepper, onion powder and celery salt. Mix well and set aside.


3. 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 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.

Serve on a bed of rice with a veggie side. We got green bean at Sprouts, blanched them then sauteed them in a TBSP butter and a clove of minced garlic. Delicious!
