Broiled Parmesan Tilapia

For the college student who hates to eat fish, this is an awesome recipe!
I found this recipe off of RecipeZaar and made it for me and my fiancee last night...  With a side dish of white rice and steamed broccoli, this recipe was absolutely delicious!
You can make this recipe with pretty much any white fish, but the tilapia only cost me about 2.50 per fillet, which is pretty nice if I do say so myself.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon celery salt
  • salt (I use seasoned salt)
  • 2 lbs tilapia fillets

Directions:
  1. Set oven to broiler heat.
  2. Grease a broiler pan, then line with foil and grease the foil slightly.
  3. In a small bowl mix together Parmesan cheese, butter, mayo, lemon juice and garlic.
  4. Add in all the remaining seasonings and salt if using; mix well and set aside.
  5. Arrange the fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan (you sprinkle salt on fish but it is not necessary).
  6. Broil a few inches from the heat for about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Turn the fish over and broil a couple minutes more.
  8. Remove from oven and cover them with the Parmesan mixture on the top side only.
  9. Return to oven and broil for about 2 minutes more or until the topping is browned and the fish flakes easily (do not overcook the fish!).
