Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

1/2 c Parmesan cheese
1/4 c butter, softened
3 T    Cream cheese
2T  fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp celery salt
2 lbs tilapia fillets

(I also season the fish with Old Bay seasoning, both sides and salt.)


1. Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.
2. In a small box, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, cream cheese and lemon juice.  Season with dried basil, pepper, onion powder and celery salt. Mix well and set aside.
3. Arrange fillets in a single layer on prepared pan.  Broil a few inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes.  Flip 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.
