Parmesan Tilapia - Another FETR

This Parmesan coated tilapia recipe from Allrecipes.com (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/broiled-tilapia-parmesan/)  is another nice Fast, Easy, and Tasty Recipe. It is a 4.5 star recipe with over 6,000 reviews. It serves 8 and takes about 15 minutes.  The one caution I have is to make sure that the fillets you use are the same thickness. If not, the thinner ones should be cooked for a shorter time than the thinner ones.

Although this recipe is designed to serve 8, I prepared it for three of us, using three fillets. The only thing I changed to the recipe below was the amount of tilapia.

Ingredients

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

Directions

1. Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line the pan with aluminum foil.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Add the 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 2-3 minutes. (In other words, the oven shelf where you place the pan with fish should be at the top of the oven) Flip the fillets over and broil for a couple more minutes.

4. 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 the fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the fish.
