Description

If you are looking for a fish recipe that EVERYONE will eat and enjoy, this is it! Try it! I promise you will like it, and if you don’t tell the kids it is fish they will love it also! My little kids LOVE it. They will eat 2 Tilapia fillets each. When we make it for the 8 of us we have to make 15 pieces.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Tilapia Fillets
  • ½ cups Parmesan Cheese
  • ¼ cups Butter
  • 3 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • ½ teaspoons Dried Basil
  • ¼ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoons Celery Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoons Onion Powder

Preparation

Preheat your oven’s broiler.

Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.

In a small bowl, mix together 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.

My husband loved this tilapia! He was trying to figure out what was in the sauce before I could tell him. I served the fish with steamed broccoli and we dipped it in the sauce too. I may try using the sauce on broiled salmon next time.. just to see what happens. Thanks for posting!

As my two year old said after eating this, “Toppia is my favorite, mom!” I used cajun seasoning instead of celery salt to give it a little kick.
This was so yummy! Thanks for sharing!

This was one of my first TK recipes I’ve tried out. Not ONE piece of fish leftover. That says enough. I didn’t add the celery salt (didn’t have it) and I put about 1/2 T. more of lemon juice and added a little regular salt. It was SOOO yummy–the fish had been in the freezer a LONG time, but it tasted so delicious. I will definitely be putting this in the “repeat” category. Thanks for the great recipe!

It was good and I can see why the kiddies would really like it. For the grown-ups in the house, we found it just a tad bland…still yummy, just needed a little kick. My mom sprinkled on some fajita seasoning and I opted for a light drizzle of some asian hot sauce (srichacha sp?). Either way, we both agreed it was good enough to make again. Super easy and made with things found on hand!!! The best was that the oven didn’t have to stay on too long on this hundred degree summer day.
