Parmesan Crusted Tilapia!!!

A wonderful friend of mine, Jenn, gave me this recipe AGES ago. It's tried and true in our house---a quick, simple, DELICIOUS, and Low-cal dinner!

Parmesan crusted Tilapia!

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/8 cup lowfat butter, softened
3 tablespoons fat free 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:
  • Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil. (I just used a cast iron griddle sprayed with olive oil.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, lowfat butter, fat free 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. 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.
