Tilapia Parmesan
2 lbs tilapia fillets (orange roughy, cod or red snapper can be substituted)
Lemon juice
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 Tbsps butter, room temperature (I used
Brummel & Brown)
3 Tbsps mayonnaise (I used the Light stuff)
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp seasoning salt (or Old Bay seasoning)
1/4 tsp dried basil

Preheat oven to 350. Lay fillets in single layer in greased 13-by-9-inch baking dish or jellyroll pan. Brush top with juice. Bake fish in preheated oven 10 to 20 minutes or until fish just starts to flake. In bowl combine cheese, butter, mayonnaise, onions and seasonings. Mix well with fork. Spread with cheese mixture and bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Baking time will depend on the thickness of the fish you use. (Watch fish closely so that it does not overcook.)

Note: This fish can also be made in a broiler. Broil 3 to 4 minutes or until almost done. Add cheese and broil another 2 to 3 minutes or until browned.
Makes 4 servings.

My notes: The original recipe is
here. I tweeked it a bit. At first I wasn't really sure of fish and cheese together, but it came out quite tasty. I'd definitely try it again.
