Anywho, on to the recipe. Dinner tonight was Broiled Tilapia Parmesan (recipe source: allrecipes.com). I can't remember the first time I made this, but I can tell you that it turned my skeptic of a husband into a fish eater. The good thing about this recipe (other than the fact that you can have it on the table in 10 minutes) is that you can really mix and match the spices to your taste, and you really can't go wrong. I never have celery salt on hand, so I omit that. Sometimes I don't have lemon juice, so I use a bit of white wine vinegar. Sour cream is subbed for mayo, and on and on. You get the idea. Just don't forget the parmesan!
We had the fish with some roaster acorn squash. And sadly, no wine was shared tonight. Don't worry, there is always tomorrow!
Broiled Tilapia Parmesan
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
- Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.
- In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, 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.
