Broiled Parmesan Tilapia

2 TBS parmesan cheese
1 TBS softened butter
2 1/4 tsp mayo
1 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice (or bottled, as I use)
1/8 tsp dried basil
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp celery salt
1/2 lb tilapia filets

1. Preheat broiler. Grease a broiler pan or line with foil.
2. Mix together all ingredients except filets.
3. Arrange filets in a single layer on prepared pan. Broil for 2-3 minutes and then flip filets to broil for another 2-3 minutes. Remove filets from oven and cover with parmesan mixture. Broil for 2 more minutes or until topping has browned. Filet flakes easily with a fork when done.

*Changes*

I like to add a heaping TBS of feta to the cheese mixture and I don't have celery salt in the house now, so I use a sprinkle of sea salt and celery seed instead. I keep the measurements in the same ratio to one another but I rarely make that little an amount of sauce, as we tend to cook more than 2 filets at a time.

No matter what, this is a super easy recipe and it's fun to play with. Enjoy!
