Tasty Bites: Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

By Beth V

I am always on the look out for a great fish recipe - one that complements the flavor of fish and in which the fish doesn’t taste “fishy.” This is a delicious fish recipe that will please both adult and child-like taste buds -tender, flaky, mild-flavored tilapia with a creamy yet zesty broiled topping. It takes a minute or two to prepare and less than 10 minutes to cook, so it is perfect for a busy weeknight meal.

First, grab a bowl and mix together ½ cup parmesan cheese, ¼ cup softened butter, 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon dried basil, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 1/8 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/8 teaspoon celery salt.

Next, preheat your oven to broil and place the tilapia filets on a baking sheet coated with baking spray. Broil 4-5 inches from the heat for two minutes.

Flip the filets and broil 2 minutes longer. Remove the pan from the oven and evenly divide the parmesan topping over all of the fillets, generously coating the top of each. This is going to turn into bubbly, melty deliciousness, trust me.
